  • Patent number: 7056543
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is reliably provided a soy sauce having desired ethanol and lactic acid concentrations and a mellow flavor. A method of brewing soy sauce which comprises mixing soy sauce koji into a salt water to prepare a soy sauce moromi mash, adding pre-cultured soy sauce lactic acid bacteria and soy sauce yeast to the moromi mash, performing fermentation and aging of the moromi mash after adding by ordinary techniques, wherein the soy sauce yeast is added to the soy sauce moromi mash within 10 days after mixing such that the cell count of the soy sauce yeast is 10 to 100 fold greater than that of wild yeast already existing in the moromi mash and is 2×105 or less cells/g moromi mash to the soy sauce moromi mash, so that the desired soy sauce is obtained.

  • Patent number: 5132136
    Abstract: A condensed wire composition containing an extract content of no less than 18% (w/v) is obtained by vacuum condensing a wine at a temperature of 5.degree. to 60.degree. C., preferably 20.degree. to 35.degree. C. to a concentration by at least 8 times as high as the original, retaining the resulting condensate at a low temperature, e.g., 0.degree. to 10.degree. C. to crystallize tartar, and removing the tartar. An initial distillate obtained upon the vacuum condensing of the wine and/or brandy may be added to the condensed wine in such an amount that final product has an alcohol content less than 1% (v/v).
