ガスパチョと焼き蛸の餃子~スペイン編~
白い街を照らす太陽、洞窟に響くフラメンコの靴音。南のアンダルシア。
深い緑を濡らす雨、入り組んだ海岸を満たす潮の香り。北西のガリシア。
さて今回は、遠く離れた二つの風土と味を、ひと皿の餃子でめぐる旅。


From southern light to northern seas.

In Andalusia, blinding white walls reflect the brilliant sun amid orange shade and fountains. At Granada’s Alhambra, narrow channels run through courtyards, reflecting arches and sky—legacy of Islamic dynasties that deeply enriched Spanish culture. In Sacromonte’s cave tablaos, flamenco echoes up close, its stomping heels capturing life’s raw emotion.
Heading northwest to rainy Galicia, lush greenery and jagged coastlines yield rich octopus and seafood. With its Celtic roots, it feels like a different world.
Connecting these distant lands is today’s gyoza: chilled Andalusian gazpacho meets seared Galician octopus.


さて、お味はいかがでしょう?
最初は冷たいトマトの酸味。そこへ、つるりとした皮からスモークパプリカが香り、じゃがいものやわらかな甘み、タコの旨みが続く。熱い餃子と冷たいスープの温度差も楽しい。南のガスパチョと北のタコ。スペインが、ひと皿に収まった。

Southern sun and northern seas on a single plate.

Gazpacho, Andalusia’s cold tomato soup known as “liquid salad,” instantly revives heat-weary bodies. Floating inside are gyozas filled with Galician octopus and potato, bringing southern sun and northern seas together in a single dish.
①Mix flour with smoked paprika and water to knead wrapper dough.②Mash steamed potatoes with olive oil, fold in seared chopped octopus, and season with salt for filling.③Wrap filling and boil in plenty of water.④Blend tomato juice, garlic, and salt, then chill for gazpacho. Top with boiled gyozas, diced vegetables (tomato, celery, parsley, bell pepper, cucumber), and seared octopus.
So, how does it taste?
First, the cool tartness of tomato. Then smoky paprika rises from the smooth wrapper, leading into sweet potato and savory octopus. The hot gyoza and cold soup contrast delightfully. Southern gazpacho meets northern octopus—Spain on a single plate.
