PURPOSE:To prepare a liquor such as Japanese rice wine, wine, beer or shaoxing wine having rich and mellow taste, moderate sweetness and excellent palatability by adding a sugar raw material compounded with a panose-rich sugar, etc., in a fermentation step. CONSTITUTION:This liquor is prepared by adding a sugar raw material compounded with preferably 0.15-20wt.% of a panose-rich sugar containing >=20wt.% of panose and/or its reduction product as a part of the fermentation raw material in the fermentation process. The panose-rich sugar is produced e.g. by using a saccharifled starch syrup composed mainly of maltose as a raw material and subjecting to the sugar inversion reaction with maltose transglucosldase. |
