Theme: Sardines & Ume – Summer Power from Portugal and Japan!
June in Portugal means sardine season — and in Japanese cuisine, sardines are a star ingredient as well.Sardines are a nutritional powerhouse: packed with EPA, DHA, vitamin D, calcium, protein, and iron, all in a naturally balanced form. They support muscle health, boost energy, and their healthy fats help improve circulation, fight fatigue, and clear mental fog — all especially important in the summer heat.
And do you know about umeboshi (Japanese pickled plums)?
These little powerhouses are especially helpful in summer.
They aid digestion, prevent summer fatigue, and pair perfectly with sardines — a true golden duo!
This month’s menu includes:
• Sardines simmered in ume’ Umeni’ (A favorite from last year, and something I truly want to share every June!)
• Sardine tartare (Fresh sardines are delicious raw — let’s enjoy this simple, no-heat recipe together)
•Escabeche ‘ Nanbanzuke’ (Sardines marinated in sweet vinegar — a Japanese summer classic with roots in Portugal)
• Plus one more seasonal vegetable dish using ume
Let’s eat plenty of sardines and power through the summer together!
