PRODUCTION OF 'SAKE' (JAPANESE RICE WINE) USING LONG-STORED RICE

摘要

PURPOSE:The substances causing bad smell characteristic in SAKE made from long-stored rice are removed from by using water-soluble gelatin and persimon tannin to cause precipitation, thereby good-quality SAKE free from the bad smell is produced. CONSTITUTION:Long-stored rice, for example, harvested in the last or before last year, is used to effect a customary SAKE brewing. Then, 300-600ppm of water-soluble gelating and 400-1,000ppm of persimon tannin are added to the resultant SAKE and the precipitate formed is filtered off, followed by thermal sterilization.
