In the second step of the method of the present invention, the koji containing a large amount of citric acid obtained in the first step is
After adding 1.2-1.5 times the amount of water, at a temperature of 45-60 ° C,
Hold for 48 hours to elute the citric acid in the koji into water. The reason why the second step is carried out at the above temperature is that when citric acid in the koji is eluted in water, alcohol fermentation by yeast is prevented, and at the same time, enzymes possessed by the koji, such as amylase,
Various components contained in koji, particularly starches, proteins, and fats, are autolyzed by proteases, lipases, and the like to further increase the sweetness and umami of the beverage finally obtained. According to the method of the present invention, a large amount of citric acid is produced by the action of Aspergillus in the first step, and further, in the second step, as described above,
The components contained in the koji, particularly starches, proteins, and fats, are autolysed; therefore, the beverage finally obtained by the method of the present invention contains 1.5-2.5% of citric acid, An extremely easy-to-drink beverage with sourness and favorable taste.

The residue obtained by eluting citric acid into water by the method of the present invention and then filtering contains a residual sugar content (glucose and starch) of about 30%, which is suitable as a raw material for producing shochu. Things. For example, sweet potato used as a raw material when producing potato shochu has a starch content of 25 to 30%. Therefore, not only can the residue be used as a raw material for producing shochu without any problem, but also in this residue, since starch is decomposed into glucose, alcohol fermentation proceeds smoothly. Therefore, the method for producing a citric acid-containing beverage according to the method of the present invention also has an advantage that no waste is generated.
