週末、とても仲良くしている友人が近所に引っ越してきました。ウレシイ。あと1時間でその友人と一緒に食事をするという時に、空腹に耐えられず旦那に赤ワインリゾットを作ってもらいました。日本のお米で作るとすぐドロドロになってしまうのが問題なのですが、今回の米のアルデンテ具合はかなりグッド。カルナローリ種という米がリゾットにイイらしいので今度はそれを用意しておこうと思います。でも同じ値段ならカルーチョスで売られてるカルナローリ米が買いたいな。

Our good friends moved to our neighbourhood on the weekend. I'm very happy about that! Just an hour before we were going to dinner with our new neighbours, I realized that we haven't eaten anything and we were starving. I asked C to cook Red Wine Risotto. It was very good (not because of I was super hungry). Cooking risotto with Japanese rice is quite difficult, because rice becomes sticky very easily. But this risotto was perfect al dente! I heard that Carnaroli rice is good for risotto. I need to get some for the next time. But I prefer to buy Carnaroli from Carluccio's, especially if they are the same price!

ええっと、このリゾットのシェフからクレームが来ました。写真のリゾットが本物の方がずっとマズそうとの事。ハイ、確かにそうです。お腹ペコペコ＋暗い所で撮ったから。

Yes, Carnaroli rice is the best Italian rice, and it's a very good choice for risotto. Even Arborio rice, a bit cheaper, is good for risotto. I'm not sure, but I think I saw some Carnaroli rice in Takashimaya, Shinjuku. On the basement, there's a well know italian food shop from my city, Peck. The quality is quite good, but it's even more expensive than in Milan!

Hi andrea, I bought Spigadoro's Carnaroli rice from Seijo Ishii supermarket in Tokyu Toyoko department store yesterday. It was ¥1,480/1kg. Imported food is always very expensive. But I'm glad that you recommend Carnaroli rice! I will check Takashimaya when I'm in Shinjuku next time.
