I introduce Kaga 's great sake, Tengumai .
Tengu Festival in Wakayama Prefecture.
When I was transferred to Niigata, this time
I will introduce the delicious sake I met
when traveling in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The sake's name is Tengu Mai
天狗舞HP http://www.tengumai.co.jp/index.html
Founded in 1823. One day when there was a warehouse
in the Tetchigawa tributary, it seems that alcoholic beads
have struck from a story saying that a tengu tapping
the drum beating from the nearby forest.
In 1972, after winning the first gold prize at the nationwide
recycling schedule, I have repeatedly won the awards.
t is made to recognize nationwide waste disposal by
natural lactic acid, and it is a masterpiece of
the ability that no one does not know as a sake.
Underwater water springing from Bonin peak Hakusan
and good rice produced in Kaga plain,
Tangeru dance sake is brewed and raised.
Mai Teng is selected from carefully selected rice
for sake in Japan, from Yamada Nishiki
in Hyogo Prefecture Special A District
able to make.
Polished rice is polished after several weeks.
In washing rice, management in seconds is required.
And the rice is steamed by old-fashioned
Japanese kettle and rice.
This series of flow is done with love for rice.
Koji is the one that breeds koji molds in rice.
The enzyme produced by the koji mold growing
in koji will saccharify the rice.
All the koji of Tenguu Mai is handmade.
Koji making is done as if to talk with
Aspergillus oryzae of microorganisms.
In Tengumai, many sake is brewed
in the mountain waste sake mother.
Molten is the one that makes saccharification
and fermentation by adding liquor to steamed rice,
koji and water.
Mash is divided into three stages.
Molasses things that make saccharification
and fermentation by adding sake as
a steamed rice, koji and water.
Mash is divided into three stages.
For about a month, listen to the voice of mash,
nurture while looking at the figure.
And momentum gradually changes form to liquor.
By squeezing sake, mash is separated into
sake and sake cake.
Sake rice that has followed a long way
from milled rice over a period of several months
will be born again as a bottle of alcohol.
The finished liquor is sent off to the Kurabito
who has done all the power it has and
it entrusts itself to the flow of nature and time.
The sake is matured in silence and warehouse
and waits still.
Sake will soak slowly over time and
will smell as a fragrance.
When you wake up from sleep,
you will finally become "Tengu Mai."
Clear water, plump rice. The brewery that received
the blessings of heaven and earth starts.
The season of fruit, autumn winds shake the ears,
around the liquor store are covered
with golden ripples and echoes.
Sake is brewed from water and rice.
Kurabito welcomes the newly harvested
rice into the warehouse.
Since rice has its nature every year differently,
carefully check the appearance of rice for that year.
Since rice has its nature every year differently,
carefully check the appearance of rice for that year.
When the rice and water given from
nature are welcomed, the clerk prays.
As we welcome rice and water given from nature,
we pray that we can build safely so that
we can produce a refreshing wine liquor.
And I thank God for the joy of
making sake this year too.
This "prayer" becomes the first step of sake making.
Rice is alive. Pour a generous love into each grain.
Koji is a breeding koji mold in rice.
The enzyme produced by the koji mold growing
in koji will saccharify the rice.
All the koji of Tenguu Mai is handmade.
Koji making is done as if to talk with
Aspergillus oryzae of microorganisms.
Koji making decisions on alcoholic beverages
makes full use of the five senses, and it
can be seen with intuition and sensibility.
The basics of sake brewing has long been said as
"1: Koji 、2: sake mothers、3: Make (moromi)".
As early as this word "koji" comes, Koji making is
a very important work in sake brewing.
In the high temperature and high humidity
koji room, the male on the upper body
body breeds rice with one grain of rice,
so patience and carefully rubbing the rice gently.
As koji mold begins to breed, rice takes on heat.
I will adjust the temperature and humidity
inside the koji room while looking at it.
There are not calculation formulas and
equations for koji making.
It is reliance on the intuition and sensibility
of the Kuran.
As called Koji side, koji has an expression.
While gazing at its facial features, deciding
when to work as a collaborative worker, as
a coworker or as a kid, while checking
its fragrance. Rather than checking,
it may be more nuance than feeling it.
Kuran creates koji making full use of his own senses.
In this way, it is no exaggeration to say that
deciding the taste of sake is a koji making, Kurabito's
"The power to feel" and "The affection to feel" are the key.
The Kuran begins the dialogue with
the unspeakable creature with a wish
in the stirring rod that I got.
Following making koji to make a liquor.
In order to raise a powerful lively yeast,
Our company uses a technique called
mountain dismantling which borrowed
the power of nature.
The nature of yeast is determined by how to grow.
In an environment that is too tidy,
even if you can make obedient yeast,
it lacks strength. Only when we receive
many baptisms of nature the yeast
will have its original power.
Kurabito uses the stirring rods and thinks of
manipulating heavy warming barrels.
In the dialogue with unspeakable microorganisms,
envisioning the appearance of sake
with a sense of relaxation and richness
About a month, it becomes "mother of sake" at last.
As if to respond to Kozo's love, he will soon return to his soul.
The original breath of growing sake will soon
reach the ear of Kurabito.
The original temperature of liquor is not
mechanically adjusted. Listen to
the original voice of sake and look at it.
Sometimes it warms up, sometimes cools down,
and keeps on keeping in mind always.
For about a month, sometimes warms up,
sometimes chills, and keeps on constantly distracting.
The Kuran is strong, with a severe line of
sight and a gentle gaze, pour out the utmost of love.
And, as if accepting the sincerity and
affection of Kurabito, and as it responds to it,
the origin of sake will change her appearance
to liquor while dwelling his soul.
The gift brought up by the Kurabito arrives at the moment of awaited flowering.
By squeezing sake, sake is divided into
sake and sake lees.
The bag hanging used for the best liquor
is a technique of not applying force,
leaving it to the original weight of the liquor
and slowly "choosing and drinking" the sake.
Liquor rice which has been loaded from
milled rice over several months,
and has followed the long way of fermentation,
is thus reborn as sake.
The moment this sake is born, various thoughts
will come to the chest of Kurabito.
While keeping that feeling, Kuran keeps on
working indiscriminately.
However, when a drop, a drop, the sound
born of the liquor sounds faintly in the silence
warehouse, the clerk keeps upright immovable,
loves the liquor and makes the chest hot.
"Time" created by God adds Mamori and aroma
to the drink that I fell asleep.
Regardless of how much scientific or civilized
instruments you use, the fact that you can not
win not only with the power of nature and
the flow of time is the same in sake brewing.
The Kuran exhausts all of the power they can
have and finally leaves sake under
the flow of nature and time.
The wine is matured in the warehouse of quietness
and waits for the date of shipment.
A couple of months after drinking asleep, in the
warehouse we will do the work "drinking up"
in order to ascertain the ripening of sake.
Alcohol whose quality was confirmed further goes to sleep.
The liquor will soak slowly over time, and
will bear the fragrance which it made as a fragrance.
When I wake up from sleep, it will be "Tengu dance" at last.
Speaking of Tengu dance, mountain waste net rice sake.
This catch phrase is the best happiness
for our company, sticking to net rice sake
and mountain scraps.
In recent years, many people have started
to drink junmai rice, but Tengu Mai has
continued to build by believing the net rice
sake more than once.
Originally sake was pure rice wine.
Mai Teng is particular about net rice liquor
as it is based on the belief that
"I want you to drink the flavor of rice".
Yamahai is one of the methods of making liquor
and is a way to make flow of sake mother-of-mouth.
When preparing, do not add ready-made lactic acid
to prevent contamination by germs,
skillfully take in lactic acid bacteria in nature,
and ferment lactic acid slowly at low temperature.
Only the robust and lively yeast will survive
to the liquor raised in the form of nature in this way.
Recently, as most companies add lactic acid and adopt
a manufacturing method to grow sake mothers
in a short period of time, there are very few
craftworkers who know the mountain disappearance.
Among them, Tengu Mai continues to stick to
the mountain waste because I believe that
the original flavor of sake can only be brewed.
We will spare no effort to make refined and bulky sake.
We will continue to make "real sake"
thinking of Tengu dance.
Coloring with the soul: When using aged rice
and water, carefully brewed sake is thoroughly
aged, the liquor takes on an amber color.
From customers who drank Tengu dancing
for the first time, there is color because
the quality of sake is deteriorating, often you
will get something like this.
The color surely adheres also due to
deterioration of sake. However,
we will answer like this.
However, we will answer like this.
Tengu dance, it is natural that there is
a color, color is also considered
a condition of original quality.
If filtration is done with a large amount
of activated carbon, the color of liquor
can be taken easily.
However, with this method, the fragrance
and umami are lost with color.
We do not want to scent the fragrance and
taste as much as possible, we think that
we would like our customers to drink good delicious.
I want to value the uniqueness of sake, that is,
the taste of the rice itself.
There is a soul in the color of liquor.
Because it is a sake that carefully and
carefully brewed, sake can be drunk as it is colored.
I hope that many people will understand
that the darkness of liquor is the depth
of affection of Kuran, the indication
of umami, through Teng dance.
The customer's word is the supreme pleasure
than any prize for which I realized the
taste of sake only after drinking Tengu dance.
Each warehouse has something to pursue.
It is a fundamental thing that can not be
abandoned for the warehouse.
The thing that Tengu Mai pursues is that
"drinking and delicious sake is produced
by a skilled Kuranjin, traditional brewing lore."
However, at present, the number of
professional warehouses is decreasing.
I would like to succeed to the next generation,
the skills that I have succeeded from the past
to the present, and the joy of sake making.
Tengu dance is made by Kaga nature and people.
Master will transfer the skill to the youngster.
However, I hope not only to be taught but also
to steal, defend, destroy, and create a new tradition.
Sake making is deep, the Kuran stands
at the entrance of sake brewery for several years,
and over the years we have to understand
the sake brewing.
Before being an employee, you must be a
"craftsman", but you can not succeed.
We are a warehouse where people
drink alcohol together with nature.
I would like to continue to make sake
for a long time without forgetting it.
Pursuing the joy of making sake ...
