Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain Shochu (low-class distilled spirits) with favorable flavor by adding lactic acid bacteria having been excluded in conventional Shochu production to a Shochu stock. SOLUTION: This Shochu is obtained by adding lactic acid bacteria to a Shochu stock; wherein it is preferable that the lactic acid bacteria to be used is resistant to >=7 g/L citric acid and sensitive to >=12 wt.% ethanol and produces no Shochu off flavor matter (pref. Lactobacillus plantarum), and it is added <3 days before charging the Shochu stock with yeast; for example, when the carbohydrate afforded by saccharifying a carbon source is koji, it is preferable that water and lactic acid bacteria are added to the koji followed by performing a fermentation at 20-30 deg.C for 20-60 h and then charging the system with yeast to carry out an alcoholic fermentation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Lactic acid bacteria are known to be involved in the savoring of liquor and are not normally used in brewing sake. Among sake brewing, exceptionally known is a manufacturing method using lactic acid bacteria in sake, whiskey and wine. In sake manufacturing, lactic acid bacteria are used to prepare a liquor suitable for culturing sake yeast. In whiskey manufacture, whiskey moromi called sour mash involving lactic acid bacteria is known. In wine production, lactic acid bacteria are used to decompose malic acid into lactic acid and carbon dioxide gas by lactic acid bacteria to reduce the sourness of wine and improve the flavor.

It is generally said that moromi contaminated with lactic acid bacteria has a low alcohol content and a significantly high total acid content, but as shown in Table 1, NSA1 has an alcohol content similar to that of the control group. Moreover, good moromi with little increase in total acidity was obtained. The obtained moromi was distilled under reduced pressure with a small vacuum distiller to obtain a distillate, that is, shochu liquor with a distillation ratio of 40% against moromi. The distilled spirit was degassed for 3 days, then water was added so that the alcohol content was 25%, the mixture was left at 5 ° C. overnight, and then cooled and filtered to obtain shochu.
