Q

What can happen if the moisture level in the rice that will be used to make a daiginjō becomes too high?

A

1)Kōji mould grows too fast , without producing enough enzyme
2)rice during fermentation breaks up too quickly, Yeast having too much sugar, can’t control fermentation.

Q

ginjo factors

A

Rice
- type: Yamada-Nishiki(34%), Akita-sake-komachi (2.8%)
- ratio: 50%
- moisture: low

Koji
- Type: Tsukiji
- Strain: high Amylase
- Moulding: Box/Tray Koji
- Long + high temp after moulding to increase amylase, lower protease

Yeast
- Strain: #14, #1601
- Nutrient Level: low
- Temp: 10-12C
- Length: 4-5 weeks

30
Q

what’s the definition of good rice during harvesting

A

moisture: 15% or less
percent grains
- broken, cracked,
- dead,
- under-ripe

31
Q

flooding/draining

A

flooding:
kill weeds

draining:
1)submerged rotting veggie decompose (oxygen)
2)slows shoot growth and increase grain size
3)stronger roots

32
Q

rice growing cold and hot during ripening

A

too cool
- non-glutinous
- easy enzyme digest but hard to handle

too hot
- struggle to ripen
- more prone to cracking (more protein)
- more glutinous
- hard for enzyme digest

33
Q

two large grained rice
large shinpaku

A

omachi (2.4%) - less pure
yamada nishiki (34%) - pure, elegant, precision

  • late harvest!
34
Q

gohyakuman goku

A

(21%)

simple, delicate, dry , short clean finish

35
Q

miyami nishiki

A

intense flavor, rich, slightly sweet
(opposite of niigata- light, dry, pure)

(7%)
vs gohyakumangoku
- sweeter, richer, robust

vs Yamada-nishiki
aromas restrained

36
Q

How is ripeness defined?

A

1)color of ears (glossy/golden)

3)15-20 ears per plant
4)strong deep roots

37
Q

which requires higher level of moisture in rice? koji or fermentation?

A

Koji

38
Q

what are the 3 kinds of Amylase?

A

Alpha-amylase
Gluco-amylase
alpha-gluco-sidase

39
Q

which koji strain is used for sake usually?

yellow, black or white

A

yellow
(Black and white has too much citric acid)

40
Q

So-haze

A

Mould covers entire rice grain
high quality of mould
amino acids, peptides.
1)High level of enzyme -> rapid gelatinization
2)High vitamins, sugar -> Faster fermentation
more body/flavor
3)High LIPID -> Less ginjo aromas
4)higher rice moisture

41
Q

Tsuki-Haze

A

Lightly spotted pattern over rice grain
restricted # of mould
low level of moisture, koji room less humid

Slow, controlled, Cold fermentations
Lightly textured, delicte

1)Slow starch conversion -> low yeast nutrients (maximizing amount of glucoamylase secreted by koji mould during limited growth)
2)Slow, cool fermentation to balance #1

Results
- Ginjo aromas
- low umami, cereal aromas
- lighter body

42
Q

ester production requirement

A

1)Low LIPD
2)Not *fast, complete fermentation”
3)low nutrient
4)low nitrogen

43
Q

Describe how spore spreading machine works

A
  • Large drum with circular base
  • Rice grains laid to cover base
  • Rotating roller moves rice, with temp/humility controlled
  • Machine creates high temperature, high humility to mimic “blanket” to promote growth
