Nihoushu (sake): Nihoushu is Japanese traditional alcoholic drink brewed from rice. There are some different types of Nihonshu. Junmaishu: Junmaishu is sake without adding extra alcohol. It is simply made from rice and water. Ginjoshu: Ginjoshu is sake without adding extra alcohol . It is made by Ginjozukuri which is the special way to make sake. Namazake: Sake does not go through heating process for sterilization. Koji: Koji is culture of a special species of mold on rice, barley etc. which is used to make sake, shochu etc. Koji-kin: Aspergillus oryzae is mainly used for koji making. Toji: The parson who makes sake.. Shuzo (shuzojo/shuzoten): sake maker or brewery. Hiochi: bacterial contamination, spoilage (of sake) Brewing process of Japanese sake ① Seimai, rice polishing Japanese Sake breweries mainly utilize sake-brewing rice which is only used for making sake. As a first step of brewing sake, brown rice of the sake rice is polished to exclude the germ and the surface fraction. They contain abundant proteins, lipids and inorganic substances. These ingredients are negative factors for sake because taste and the color can be rough. Also without highly polished rice, deterioration of sake is accelerated easily. Therefore, the center of rice grain called shinpaku is basically used in production of sake. Shinpaku is also called pearl of rice from this reason. ② Senmai and Shinshi washing and soaking the rice After polishing the rice, Nuka, rice bran powder and foreign matters are washed away as these substances have a bad effect on the final quality of sake. Following this process, the rice is soaked carefully. Measuring the time at this stage is necessary to make the amount of absorbed water appropriate. Koji, culture of a special species of mold on rice can easily grow on the rice. ③ Steaming and cooling the rice The rice is steamed for approximately one hour. Steamed rice is cooled gradually and sufficiently. ④ Seikiku, making koji One of the most important processes is making koji. Aspergillus oryzae is mainly used for propagating koji mold. In koji-muro, koji-making room at 30℃, koji spores are inoculated on the rice. After inoculation, the rice is kneaded and mixed well to put koji spores evenly onto rice. Under the condition of koji-muro, koji rice is incubated for one day. Koji is used to degrade starch of rice into glucose by amylase. ⑤ Making shubo, fermentation starter of sake Rice koji, a kind of mold grown on rice, sake yeast and steamed rice is added to shikomi-sui, water for sake making. With strict thermal management and the rice, sake yeast is activated to make sake. Toji, a chief of sake maker, continues the pumping over the starter liquid. Taking out and pouring of starter culture liquid during early stage of the starter enhances the absorption of liquid by koji and steamed rice. The liquid of the fermentation starter is full of enzyme for saccharification. The chief verifies the quality of shubo overnight. ⑥ Shikomi, preparation for fermentation mash After being transferred to a larger tank, more koji, the steamed rice and water are added to the tank, in order to prepare moromi, the fermentation mash of sake. For making moromi, steamed rice and koji are divided into three portions and each of divided materials were added in sequence over four days. Three steps are called hatsu-zoe or first step, naka-zoe or second stage and tome-zoe or third stage respectively. This method is the basic and traditional method of sake brewery and astonishingly effective to prevent microbial contamination. After incubation for 15 to 20 days, moromi, fermentation mash, is completed. ⑦ Pressing and filtration Pressing the mash is a process to separate sake kasu, sake cake, and sake. This is conducted by putting moromi in sakebukuro, cloth bags used at pressing stage. Filtration is also performed to let more solids, such as rice, settle out. Charcoal filtration is usually used to adjust flavor and color. ⑧ Pasteurization Following filtration, sake is heated to 60 ℃ to sterilize and deactivate the enzyme. This is called hiire and indispensable to prevent spoilage. ⑨ Storing(Aging) Sake is fundamentally left in the tank to age about a half of a year. The period depends on types and brands. しゅぞうてん 酒造店 Nihonizumishuzo Brewed in the basement of a very modern looking building, close to the station.

Mouritsen 1* and Klavs Styrbæk 2 1 Design and Consumer Behavior and Nordic Food Lab, Department of Food Science and Taste for Life, University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Denmark, 2 STYRBÆKS, Odense, Denmark Cephalopods, specifically Coleoidea (squid, octopus, and cuttlefish), have for millennia been used as marine food by humans across the world and across different food cultures. It is particularly the mantle, the arms, the ink, and part of the intestines such as the liver that have been used. In addition to being consumed in the fresh and raw states, the various world cuisines have prepared cephalopods by a wide range of culinary techniques, such as boiling and steaming, frying, grilling, marinating, smoking, drying, and fermenting. Cephalopods are generally good nutritional sources of proteins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, as well as micronutrients, and their fat content is low. Whereas being part of the common fare in, e.g., Southeast Asia and Southern Europe, cephalopods are seldom used in regional cuisines in, e.g., North America and Northern Europe although the local waters there often have abundant sources of specific species that are edible.

  • Sangaku--Japanese Mathematics and Art in the 18Th,19Th and 20Th Centuries
    Proceedings of Bridges 2014: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture Sangaku--Japanese Mathematics and Art in the 18th,19th and 20th Centuries Hidetoshi Fukagawa Kani-city, Gifu,509-0235,Japan E-mail:[email protected] Kazunori Horibe Aichi Prefectural Kasugai-Higashi Senior High School Tajimi-city,Gifu,507-0824.Japan E-mail:[email protected] Abstract In the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries ordinary people enjoyed traditional Japanese mathematics all over Japan. They made sangaku, votive wooden tablets with geometry problems, and hung them in many temples and shrines. The problems were presented artistically in color to attract the visitor’s eye. The world of sangaku means both Japanese mathematics and art dedicated to temples and shrines. 1 Sangaku as Sacred Mathematics From the 18th to early 20th centuries, Japanese mathematicians consisting of professionals, amateurs, women and children created sangaku, which are wooden tablets adorned with beautiful geometric problems, presented as works of art. The name literally means mathematical tablet (san = mathematics, gaku = tablet). The creators of these sangaku hung them by the thousands in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines throughout Japan. For that reason the entire collection of sangaku problems has come to be known as geometry of sacred mathematics [1], [2], [3]. Figure 1 shows a wooden tablet that was created and hung in 1875 under the roof of the Kaizu Tenman shrine located at Shiga prefecture. Figure 1: A wooden tablet under the roof of the Kaizu Tenman shrine. 111 Fukagawa and Horibe 2 Exhibition of sankagu in 2004 at the Nagoya Science Museum Fukagawa supervised the first exhibition of sangaku in 2004 at the Nagoya Science Museum with about one hundred sangaku transported from all over Japan.
