Q

What is the 3rd step of Day 1 Sokujo making?

Mizu-koji - Shikomi - _____

A

Waki-tsuki The state of the shubo in which yeast production and fermentation will accelerate releasing CO2 and creates a bubbly surface on the shubo. The shift is now to focus on growing healthy yeast. Baume degree declines (results of yeast consuming sugar) Temperature is raised another 2-3C to facilitate yeast growth to 17C
32
What is the stage days 9-12 of shubo making Day 1: Mizu-koji - Shikomi - Kumi-Kaki Day 2: Utase Day 3-7: Fukure-yudo Days 6-8: Fukure Days 7-9: Waki-tsuki Days 9-12: ________
Waki-tsuki yasumi 3 days of which the shubo temperature maintains its peak. Rest of the heating operation of using the daki but yeast production is at its peak. Bubbles cover entire surface Max temp between 20C-22C Shubo taste, acidity, bitterness and astringency increases
33
Temperature at which yeast cells die?
25C
34
What is the stage days 10-13 of shubo making Day 1: Mizu-koji - Shikomi - Kumi-Kaki Day 2: Utase Day 3-7: Fukure-yudo Days 6-8: Fukure Days 7-9: Waki-tsuki Days 9-12: Waki-tsuki yasumi Days 10-13: _____
Wake (or moto-wake) When the temperature of the shubo is lowered making it easier for yeast to survive Wake name came about because in the old time the shubo was separated into hangiri to lower the temperature Target timing for wake: When sweetness decreases Slight dry taste Clear acidity Astringency appears Reikan are used to cool shubo today Temp stays 20C-23C
35
What is reikan
Long aliminum tubes filled with ice
36
What is the stage days 14+ of shubo making Day 1: Mizu-koji - Shikomi - Kumi-Kaki Day 2: Utase Day 3-7: Fukure-yudo Days 6-8: Fukure Days 7-9: Waki-tsuki Days 9-12: Waki-tsuki yasumi Days 10-13: Wake Days 14+: _____
Shubo-no-Karashi Shubo is cooled as quickly as possible to about 10C after 3 days. Then further down to 7C to condition the shubo Usually takes 5-7 days to complete Too long and yeast cells will die Stage between moto-wake and when the shubo is used in the moromi
37
What is ko-on-toka-shubo
High temperature saccharification shubo Takes about 1 week to complete Lactic acid, yeast is addd during cooling period Temp at 55C, when koji enzymes are most active but most be properly controlled. At higher temperatures enzymes lose functionality. At lower temp unwanted microorganisms grow More hygienic but more work as steamed rice and koji stick to cooling pipes
