The resort hotel Kyukamura Rikuchu-Miyako is serving locally harvested shuri mussels in dishes such as sake-steamed mussels and ajillo on a daily rotating dinner buffet.
Wines that pair well with Japanese cuisine from Edel Wein, a winery located at the foot of Mount Hayachine, are also reportedly available.
Here are the details.
About Shuri Mussels
Kyukamura Rikuchu-Miyako is a resort hotel in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, that offers a buffet themed around "Savoring the Seafood and Mountain Produce of Sanriku."
In September, shuri mussels are characterized by their rich, savory umami, making them a defining ingredient in dishes such as paella and bouillabaisse.
Shuri mussels, known by the standard Japanese name murasaki-igai (blue mussels), are prepared and served in dishes like sake-steamed mussels and ajillo.
At the hotel buffet, you can fully indulge in the delicacies of Sanriku from both the sea and the mountains alongside shuri mussels.
Edel Wein Also Available!
Under the theme of "Savoring the Seafood and Mountain Produce of Sanriku," the hotel offers wines from Edel Wein, a winery of which Iwate is proud, paired with the dishes served.
Edel Wein is a highly acclaimed, popular winery that has garnered gold medals at domestic and international wine competitions.
The hotel features an extensive lineup of wines from the winery, including "Conzerto" and "Tsuki no Serenade."
Additionally, the 53rd Ohasama Wine Festival is scheduled to be held on Sunday, September 15, 2024, at Edel no Oka in Ohasama-machi Ohasama, Hanamaki City.
