ADDITIVE SOLUTION FOR CHANGING TASTE OF OLD RICE INTO THAT OF NEW RICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain an additive solution capable of changing the taste of old rice into the taste similar to that of new rice by adding to the old rice and cooking the rice, by blending a regenerated SAKE liquid obtained by treating steamed glutinous rice with rice KOJI and SHOCHU (low-class distilled spirit) with wine or acetic acid, etc. CONSTITUTION:Steamed glutinous rice is blended with rice KOJI and SHOCHU (low-class distilled spirit) and the resultant mixture is kept at about 10 deg.C for 30-50 days while occasionally stirring and compressed to give a regenerated SAKE liquid containing about 20% ethanol and about 25% sugar, which is then blended with glucose, acetic acid, vegetable oil and common salt and kept at about 15 deg.C for about 7-10 days to afford an additive solution. The resultant additive solution in a small amount is added to old rice or rice after the lapse of two years to carry out cooking thereof.
