仕込み水が少ない溜醤油

主に東海地方(愛知・岐阜・三重)で製造・消費されている溜醤油ですが、一般に多く出回っている濃口醤油と比較すると製法が異なります。

一般的な濃口醤油が大豆、小麦などからつくる麹の量に対して120%~130%程度の塩水で仕込むのに対して、溜醤油は50%~100%で仕込みます。味噌玉をつくって上から重石をするので、醤油の仕込みよりも味噌の仕込みに似ているかもしれません。

溜醤油は仕込み水が少ないため、攪拌(諸味をかき混ぜる作業)ができません。そのため、木桶の中に筒状の「えんとつ」と呼ばれるものを差し込みます。えんとつの下部には穴が開いており、この中に醤油が溜まっていく仕組みになっています。そして2年かけて、えんとつ内に溜まった醤油を長い柄杓ですくい上げ、重石の上から注ぐ「汲みかけ」作業を繰り返し行います。

生引きと圧搾

山川醸造には「長良」と「みのび」という2種類のグルテンフリーの溜醤油があります。いずれも木桶で2年熟成、仕込みは国産大豆と塩のみの十水仕込み。原材料も工程も全く同じですが、大きく異なるのは搾り方、「生引き」か「圧搾」かという点です。

溜醤油の木桶の下部には、注ぎ口がついています。「生引き」とは、木桶の底に溜まった醤油をその注ぎ口から自然に抽出することで、ぽたぽた・・・としか出てこないため、1年以上かけてひきだします。生引きが終わると、蔵人が木桶の中に入り、スコップで固く重い諸味を掘り出します。この諸味は溜醤油特有のもので、水分が少ないことから「味噌」と呼ばれていますが、一般的な味噌とは全くの別物です。掘り出した諸味は「味噌切り機」で数ミリの厚さにスライスし、厚手の布で包んで積み重ね、じっくりと圧搾していきます。時間をかけて丁寧に搾ることで、雑味の混入を防ぎます。一桶分の諸味を搾り終えるまでに、約2ヶ月を要します。
このような作業があるため、溜醤油を仕込む木桶は容量は同じでも、通常の桶と比べて縦が低く、幅が広く作られています。さらに、桶の側板も一般的なものより1cmほど厚く設計されています。仕込みの際には、桶の中に味噌玉を入れ、その上に布を敷き、石を一段積み重ねてから塩水を注ぐため、大きな圧力がかかります。その圧力に耐えるだけの強度が求められるのです。

「長良」は、生引きタイプならではの、すっきりと澄んだ味わいが特徴です。とはいえ、溜醤油らしい濃厚さと奥深い香りはしっかりと感じられます。強すぎず、それでいて物足りなさはない、その絶妙なバランスこそ、圧搾されていないからこその味わいだと感じます。

どんな目的でアルコールを使っているのか

醤油のラベルには、大豆や小麦と並んでアルコールが記載されているものがあります。アルコールが含まれている醤油は良くないという意見を耳にすることがありますが、そう単純に判断することはできないと感じています。

実際に山川醸造四代目の華奈子さんからは「山川醸造はカビ防止のため、充填時にビンにごく少量のアルコールを噴きかけています」とお聞きしました。これは山川醸造のホームページにも明記されています。一見些細なことかもしれませんが、消費者にとって重要な情報です。

やさしい溜でマグロがもっとおいしくなる

同じ山川醸造の溜醤油でも、「みのび」に比べて「長良」はもう少しやさしくて、でもちゃんと満足感のある味わい。その良さがぴったりハマるのが、マグロの漬け丼です。

溜醤油:みりん:酒=2.5:1:1の割合で15分〜1時間ほど漬け込んで。15分でも濃厚な味わいながらしょっぱさは控えめで、マグロとちょうどよい一体感を感じます。1時間漬けると色は濃くなりますが、ご飯にしみ込んだタレの味わいまで格別で、やみつきになること間違いなしです。

残りものの刺身や手頃な価格のマグロでも、溜醤油がたっぷりのうま味を補ってくれます。

まろやかな溜醤油は焼き餅にも

シンプルに醤油だけで焼き餅を楽しみたい方は、長良がおすすめです。まろやかなうま味と香り豊かな醤油が、香ばしく焼いた餅の味わいを一層引き立てます。

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
Very interesting world set up! I'm liking the characters more and more as we get to know them as well. At first I found it difficult to remember what powers each of the 3 monsters have, but the author does a great job of working it into the story to help the reader remember and eventually tell who is who much easier. Seems like a great start to a series. I can't wait to see where everything is heading.

In Love With These Interconnected Series
Format: Kindle
I am in love with these interconnected series!!!! I love getting sneak peeks at the girls we haven’t met yet and seeing the girls we know and love interact with each other. I also really enjoy the concept of how all of the sectors are set up and the way that the academy is run. Alexandra’s situation is especially unique as she has lived her whole life thinking that she is human while wishing that she wasn’t. She has created her own monsters to protect her from the monsters in her real life, but all of the sudden her monsters are real!!! I love how different this is from other stories that I have read, not a lot of characters will living beings with their own memories and thoughts into existence. I am also super excited to see how the ending translates into the next book and if there will be any ties to Greek mythology included.

Unexpectedly emotional and packed with action!
Format: Kindle
Why do I suddenly want nothing more than a tiny wyvern to snuggle with?! It’s adorable and I absolutely love all of those moments! Wings of Stars was everything I’ve come expect from this powerful author duo. The fact that it’s written by two different people is completely transparent to the reader and they’ve brought us another world and characters that we’re all emotionally connected to and fully invested in! The injustice that we see from Alfemir in the many forms in which it comes is infuriating and makes me desperate for the conclusion of the story so they can all get what’s coming to them! I love all the guys right now, with one exception, and if you’re read it, you know exactly who I’m talking about. Bastian is hilarious - he was the comedic relief through an otherwise quite serious story. My heart bleeds for him and I can’t wait to see how he progresses through the series. Parts of Wings of Stars were unexpectedly emotional and of course I was left with my jaw on the floor at that cliffhanger! Next, please!

Niz !!!
Format: Kindle
First, let me say that I love both of these authors. I have been hooked by both ever since I discovered their writings, and I follow their social media groups closely. This book did not disappoint. Sure, there are several questions that I have, a couple of times I went huh (which I won't get into because I do not want to offer any spoilers) and I hated the cliff hanger lol, but I cannot lie and say I didn't love the book, because I did. The twist on angels was new and fresh, even though that is part of my questions. The beginning and ending were the better parts, the middle was needed but sorta bogged a little. Kieran was confusing but relatable. Niz is BY FAR the best character of the book, love NIZ. For me, Bastian is a close second, always loved the crazy ones. The other men were good, but Steele gets on my nerves and as of right now, IMO, he doesn't belong, but we will see how that goes. I have lots of questions, but this was an excellent start to a new series and I cannot wait for the next book. Highly recommend

fallen destiny? more like destined to fall in love
Format: Kindle
Kieran is an angel, but she doesn't have an affinity. Nothing angers her father more. If she doesn't find an affinity soon she will be cast to earth & have her wings removed. But she has the choice to become a fallen angel, wings turn black, & live her life on edge. Towards the end of the book things start to make sense. Gabe’s nickname for Kieran, Steele’a hatred, Bastian’s belief that Kieran is powerful. This book ended literally during a war? As one of her friends was injured, and admitted a bit secret? Talk about cliff hanger. The next book comes out August 5th.
