木桶仕込の味を後世へ/ヤマロク醤油(香川県)

ヤマロク醤油の特徴は木桶で仕込みをしていること。そして、その木桶そのものからつくっていることです。時代とともに木桶で醸造をする醤油蔵は減少の一途をたどり、木桶を製造する桶屋も残すところ1社のみになってしまいました。「自分の代は大丈夫だけど、子供や孫の時代になれば木桶がなくなってしまう」。そう感じた山本さんは小豆島の大工2人と共に桶屋に弟子入りすることを決意します。

その後、自分たちで桶づくりを開始したのが2013年。そこから全国の桶仕込みをしている蔵元に声をかけ、メーカーや業界を越えたメンバーで新桶づくりを行っています。技術を公開し共有することで、木桶そのものの価値をあげていくため、「木桶職人復活プロジェクト」として多くの職人たちが小豆島に集まっています。

 

鶴醤

鶴醤は全国・世界からたくさんの人が訪れるヤマロク醤油を代表する再仕込醤油。濃口醤油を二年熟成し、さらにもろみを加え再び二年熟成させた四年熟成。濃厚で深いコクとまろやかさ、口の中に広がる豊かな香りが特徴です。一度使ったらほかの醤油が使えなくなったという方も。

長期熟成でしっかり濃厚な鶴醤はマグロとの相性抜群。特に、これぞマグロ!といった赤身の刺身におすすめします。刺身の臭みを消して、刺身の味も醤油の味もどちらもしっかり活きるのです。

菊醤

大粒でうま味成分の強い丹波の黒豆と、香川県産の小麦“さぬきの夢2000”を使用し、32石大杉樽で2年熟成。圧搾は自然ろ過の後、重しをかけてゆっくり搾ります。あっさりキレのあるうま味とほんのり感じる甘み、そして何といっても美しい色と香り高さが特徴の正統派の濃口醤油。

菊醤は、餃子や焼売、ステーキなど肉との相性がとにかくいいんです。醤油のすっきり感が肉のうま味や甘みを引き立ててくれます。豚肉との相性がよくても牛肉との相性はイマイチだったり、つけて食べると醤油のよさが出るのに料理に使うとそうでもなかったりという場合もあるのですが、菊醤はさまざまな肉料理でそのキレと香りのよさをしっかり発揮します。

熱烈なファンが支持する味わい/正金醤油(香川県)

17の醤油蔵が軒を連ね、醤油の産地として有名な香川県小豆島。正金醤油には120本もの杉の木桶が並び、日本屈指の保有数です。蔵に入ると、ふわっとやさしく心地よい醤油の香りが漂っています。

正金醤油で特に注目すべきは桶の管理の仕方。醤油の諸味をかき混ぜる撹拌作業の時、どうしても諸味のはね返りが生じてしまうのですが、正金醤油ではきれいに拭き取られています。床や桶のふちが尋常でなくきれいなのです。「掃除は大変だけど香りのよいものを造りたいから」と、藤井泰人さんはさらっと話をされます。

正金 うすくち生醤油

国産の大豆と小麦を木桶で仕込んだ淡口醤油。しかも、火入れ処理をしていない生タイプ。正金醤油の淡口醤油は、うま味の指標となる全窒素分が1.5%を超えていて一般的な基準からすると高い数値。正金醤油では淡口醤油と濃口醤油を別々に仕込むのではなく、同じロットの諸味を仕上がり具合や仕込み期間で淡口醤油と濃口醤油とに分けています。そのため、淡口醤油なのにうま味はしっかり、でも主張しすぎずに素材を活かしてくれるのです。

うすくち生醤油でまず試していただきたいのがうどんつゆ。めんつゆを薄めれば簡単にうどんつゆが作れますが、だしから作ってみるともっとうどんが好きになるかもしれません。鍋にだし+醤油+みりんと塩少々を入れてひと煮立ちさせるだけ。淡口醤油を使うとだしの風味をしっかりと活かしてくれる関西風うどんに。シンプルな具材でうどんつゆも最後の一滴まで飲み干したくなりますよ。

400年の伝統を受け継ぐ/ヤマヒサ(香川県)

ヤマヒサの蔵に足を踏み入れると、樽と樽が密集して配置され、奥行きのある蔵の向こう側まで樽が整然と並んでいます。その数は154本。「味噌づくりとは違って、樽を移動させる必要がないから、密集してるんですよ。」と植松勝太郎社長。

この樽の中でじっくり時間をかけて熟成が進みます。通常の醤油づくりでは4ケ月から6ケ月かけるものがほとんどですが、ヤマヒサでは天然醸造での醤油づくりをしています。そのため、発酵・熟成に2年をかけたりするものも珍しくありません。 こうした製法については、この道50有余年の職人の、その経験とカンが遺憾なく発揮されているのです。「時間をかけることで、塩が馴染むんです。塩かどがなくなって、口に含んでもしょっぱいだけでなく、うま味とコクのある美味しい醤油となるのです」そして、この事は若い蔵人に受け継がれています。

有機しょうゆ

有機JAS認定の醤油を世に先駆けて手掛けたヤマヒサ。大豆を蒸している工程を見学させてもらうと、石川県の金沢大地からとどいた大豆が蒸されていました。ヤマヒサの蔵に足を踏み入れると、樽と樽が密集して配置され、奥行きのある蔵の向こう側まで樽が整然と並んでいます。その数は150本。その様は圧巻です。

こちらも国産の有機栽培された大豆・小麦を使用。 塩についても同様で、使用しているのは天日製塩法による天日塩のみ。油分を含む丸大豆は醤油の色に赤みを強くもたらし、天日塩が微妙な甘さを出しヤマヒサの味をつくりだします。しっかりとした蔵の香りに豆感強めで、少し辛口の濃口醤油です。原料にこだわる方に。

豆しょう

一年半かけて造った醤油を塩水代わりに使い、新たに仕込み直すこと更に一年半。国産の大豆・小麦を使い杉桶で発酵熟成。力強い味わい・香りの強さ・酸味とキレ、個性は強いがしょっぱさを感じないのは、しっかり熟成されているからこそ。

お肉に合わせて使うのや加熱調理で使うのがおすすめ。タレやソースの味ではなくて、素材の味を楽しみたいとくれば醤油の登場です。濃口醤油であっさりというのもいいのですが、ちょっと濃厚な再仕込醤油を使ってみてください。熟成期間が長くてうま味が凝縮されているので油との相性もばっちりです。 しかも、熱を加えると香りがどんどん良くなってきますので、あつあつの焼きたて肉にそのままかけていただくのもあり、ワサビ醤油にしていただくのもありです。

This mattress cover is great! Well worth your money
Size: Twin XL, Style: 1 Green
This mattress cover is so comfortable. I am scheduled for back surgery in a week so when I find something I can sleep on and call it comfortable you best believe it is! It fits well, it’s pretty and it’s very fluffy. Seems to be made very well. I am confident that I’ll get a lot of wear out of it.

Very Comfortable - Love this!
Size: Full, Style: 1 Green
So far, so good! I am going on my first night trying this mattress topper out. It feels very comfortable and definitely is fluffy, but not too fluffy. I did not "fluff it out" or put it in the dryer to fluff it out quicker, so perhaps it still needs some time to fluff out some more. It was very easy to place on my mattress. I didn't have to fight with it as I normally would when fitting a sheet to my mattress. I love that it stretches over the sides of the mattress to hold it in place. The bamboo truly gives a cooler effect, which will be very helpful in the summer time. I used a microfiber mattress topper prior to ordering this topper. So far, the comparison is that this one appears to be well made and durable, unlike the microfiber one I had before that changes color as it gets old and dirty and is impossible to clean. The old one actually ripped and would constantly move. I am excited to see how well this one holds up over time. I had no trouble placing a fitted sheet over this mattress topper. I love that this one is machine washable and is able to be placed in the drier. It feels very nice on my legs and is comfortable for my back as well. The padding doesn't feel thick or bulky but definitely adds a softness that is super comfortable. It's too soon to tell if it's water resistant as I haven't tested that feature out yet. I placed it over an old, springy mattress and it truly feels like I have a whole new mattress. Time will tell how well this product does the job and I will update this review if I end up having any issues with it.

OMGAAAAAWD!!! HEAVEN!
Size: Full, Style: 1 Green, Size: Full, Style: 1 Green
All I can say is OMGAWD!!! Thank You~!~!! We got a new mattress after the previous "The Cloud" Serta pillow top (I'll never have another one) lasted for less than 8 years and I totally despised not being able to flip it models failed.. The new model is also a hybrid mattress, but is flippable and was just a bit too firm. I was feeling progressively more and more uncomfortable as the nights wore on, and with my serious back problems.. this just wouldn't do.. So I began searching "Our Beloved Amazon - heh" for an alternative, and after quite some time and research finally landed on this wonderful topper. It's like sleeping on top of well stuffed Ida Down on top of piles of silk. So very comfortable and my back pain is virtually completely gone now -such a relief! Be sure you follow the instructions on care and initial setup. You Do have to let it fluff out because of the vacuum packing (it wasn't really heavy btw). Mine decompacted fine, but I still want to run it through the dryer when we next venture to the laundromat. Shake it a little here and there when you take it out and at least let it sit for a few hours. It was just as easy to put on the bed as a regular mattress protector, and I also put my regular protector on top of it for added security and waterproofing. The materials feel like they are of good quality.. Viscose is also called Rayon and can be made from a number of different materials, so take good care of it and follow the washing instructions carefully. Delicate only, and cool only, and use only a horizontal washer that does not have a central agitator or you will tear it up. Only dry on low temperatures (preferably in a very larger laundromat dryer so it has plenty of room to loosely toss about. Drying it in the sun is alright as well, but it won't fluff like you want it to. I recommend using a waterproof and bug proof protector on top of this just to be sure you take care of it properly. Now I want to buy one for both my Mother and my Aunt HAHAHHA! TG it is in my price range.. barely. (Addendum: I have run it through the big dryer at the laundromat.. The dryer was cold so I gave it a quick warm on medium for anout 2 minutes and then tumbled on low for quite some time. The topper was fully ready in about 25 minutes, but I decided to elt it go on low while I did the rest of my laundry. It did perfectly and is just like the manufacturer photos.. I was so tired when I arrived home that I just flaked out on top of everything.. It was so comfortable that I was out liek a light in very short order and slept beautifully. I can attest that if you use this below your sheets instead of covering it with an additional mattress protector, that it does have better cooling effect. I will of course keep my waterproof/bugproof protector on top just for safety. The cat is nutz about the new topper as well.) Namaste.

Not like the pictures but well worth the money
Size: Queen, Style: 1 Green
4 stars because it is not nearly as padded as the descriptions and images make it seem. The filling flattens easily and doesn’t provide any support. That being said it does make my bed more comfortable and soft and has improved my sleep quality. I have a 12 in soft/medium firm memory foam mattress that was wonderful for the last +2 years till my back surgery ~6 months ago. Since then my joints ached when trying to sleep and when waking, my back would be all out of place and achey, and I was untested. Since buying this topper these issues have improved by 80% or more. It is a great addition to my bed and I don’t regret buying it.

Pleasantly surprised!
Size: Queen, Style: 2 Dark Gray
I had been searching for a quality mattress topper in hopes of extending the life of our mattress. I compared a few options and kept coming back to this one. I have to admit I was skeptical because the price point was lower than many options. This topper is SO comfortable and soft! I left it laying out for a couple hours and then followed the instructions to put it in the dryer. Worked like a charm. I’ve been going through issues with hip pain and this has made a difference in my sleep and I’m waking up in less pain. So happy I tried this out. The padding is so comfortable and fit on the mattress using the same sheet we had.
