Cooking with cocktail

I had a sudden craving for Oinarisan.
Oinarisan is Tofu skin stuffed with sushi rice.

Age (Tofu skin)
Tofu skin is cut into half and cooked in dashi, soy sauce, sake, mirin.
While Tofu skin is cooled down, prepare sushi rice.
Mix vinegar, sugar and salt. Pour the mixture over rice and mix.
You can add  fillings of your choice. I like to mix in Hijiki (seaweed).
Fill the Tofu skin with sushi rice.
Be careful not to break the Tofu skin.
If you break, that's okay. It still tastes good.

To show his appreciation (he loves Oinarisan), JC made me a cocktail while I cooked.
The numbers of liquors on hand were low, so JC had to be creative.

This is JC's original cocktail with no name yet.

The ingredients are:
B & B
Orange dry curacao
Orange bitter
Lemon
Lime
Blackberry
Egg white

Fruity cocktail. I liked this a lot! I should find very cool name for this...

Oinarisan is ready, and JC opened Suigei Tokubetsu Junmai.
Fruity aroma and Umami flavor.
This sake can be better with saltier food (Oinarisan has sweetness).


Suigei might not have been the best choice for the food, but JC seemed to enjoy a lot and that's most important.
