The healthy way of drinking


If sake is compared with other brewage, alcohol content has become height considerably. Therefore, if it drinks ordinarily, it will be easy to get drunk. Then, let's utilize "water" well. 

The 1

It is drinking water about the same as the drunk amount of alcohol. Water can be enjoyed compared with wine etc., without losing the feature that sake is clever even with a drinker. While drinking alcohol taking advantage of this feature, please drink water briskly. If it carries out like this, it stops remaining in the next day. 

The 2 

It mixes with with water at the time of warmed sake. When warming alcohol, it warms, after doing hot water about twenty percent. Then, a mellow taste spreads. Furthermore, since alcohol content falls in a good thing, drunkenness becomes light and is hard to be having a hangover. Hot water is about twenty percent to the last. If it puts in too much, because it will be reserved alcohol or corky hot water. Anyway, excessive drinking is a prohibited thing. Let's drink a proper quantity pleasantly happily to the last. When it is likely to be having a hangover truly, if the mineral which is mainly concerned with salt is supplied, it is supposed that it is good. Certainly when the miso soup of a little deep , kelp tea, etc. are drunk .

The origin of Sake

Do you know the origin of Sake?

The origin is very very old.
Sake brewing is featured by Koji. Here, I will finish in the description so light on koji described in detail later.Koji is one of the most important in the brewing. No koji, NO sake!! OK?
When was the prototype of sake koji sake made ​​from rice and koji did the appearance does not know the exact place.The history of alcohol is as old as it. Since meal ready to eat dried, the meal was damp in water and mold grew, alcohol is made to build using it and there is also an opinion of having held the party in the alcohol.

Although it is floating in the air or has adhered to straw etc., an aspergillus will be increased making a spore come into bud there, and building a fungal thread, and also carrying out adhesion of many spores, if washed up on the boiled rice or the steamed rice.
Since an aspergillus produces enzyme, especially amylase so much, secretes it outside of the body and leaves it in rice malt in it, the starch of rice is saccharified and changes to grape sugar.
