<p>PURPOSE:To prepare an aromatic MIRIN (a sweet sake) having mellow flavor in an extremely short period while saving a raw material-steaming process, by suitably grinding non-glutinous rice and/or glutinous rice as raw materials, liquidizing the ground rice at a high temperature, steaming the liquidized product under pressure, saccharifying the steamed product at a high temperature, adding alcohol to the saccharified product, and subsequently aging the mixture. CONSTITUTION:A MIRIN is prepared from non-glutinous rice and/or glutinous rice as raw materials in the following steps : (1) The first step for grinding the raw materials; (2) the second step for liquidizing the ground product with an enzyme at a high temperature of 90-100 deg.C; (3) the third step for steaming the liquidized product under a high pressure; (4) the fourth step for adding rice koji and/or an enzyme to the steamed product and liquidizing the mixture at 55-60 deg.C; (5) the fifth step for saccharifying the liquidized product, adding alcohol to the product and aging the mixture; and (6) the sixth step for pressing, filtering and sterilizing the aged product. In the second step, the raw materials are preferably added to hot water of >=90 deg.C at such a rate that the concentration of the raw materials in the unrefined MIRIN increases at <=1.2%(W/V) per minute. In the first step, the raw materials are preferably ground so that the raw materials having particle sizes of 16-80 meshes occupies >=90% of the whole weight thereof.</p> |
