Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具に係るものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
清酒の製造工程において、米を発酵させる前の処理工程として米を水洗いし、この米に水を浸漬させる洗米浸漬工程がある。
【０００３】
この洗米浸漬工程に使用される浸漬タンクには、従来は浸漬タンクの下部の排水部の側壁に水を抜くための穴開き板が設けられ、この穴開き板に浸漬タンク内の水を抜き取る水抜き孔が連設され、また、排水部の下部に浸漬タンク内の米を落下させる開閉シャッターが設けられており、前記水抜き孔を開いて前記洗浄した米の水切りを穴開き板により行って水抜きをしたり、また洗浄した米に清浄水を含浸させた後に同様の操作により余分な水分を排水したり、また、開閉シャッターを開いて清浄水を含水させた米を排水部から落下させ、次の製造工程に米を移動させたりしていた（以下、従来例という。）。
【０００４】
しかし、この従来例では、穴開き板の上に米が載置される構成となるため、穴開き板の穴が詰まって非常に水抜けが悪く、限度吸水（時間を決めて白米に適当に水分を吸わせる操作）を採用して清酒を製造する場合には、水切れが悪くて水抜きに時間がかかり、浸漬タンク内の上部と下部の米では吸水状態が異なってしまうなどの問題点があった。
【０００５】
本発明は、上記問題点を解決するもので、洗浄した米の水切りや米に清浄水を含浸させた後の余分な水分の排水を良好に行うことができ、また、清浄水を含水させた米を浸漬タンクの下部から素早く落下させることができる実用性，作業性に秀れた酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具を提供することを目的としている。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
添付図面を参照して本発明の要旨を説明する。
【０００７】
洗浄米２を投入する浸漬タンクＡの下部に排水部１を設けてこの排水部１から排水することで浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２の水切りを行うように構成、若しくは洗浄米２を投入した浸漬タンクＡに清浄水３を入れ前記洗浄米２に清浄水３を含水する際に排水部１から余分な清浄水３を排水することで浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２の水切りを行うように構成した酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切り具Ｂであって、前記浸漬タンクＡは、この浸漬タンクＡ内にして排水部１上に、水を通す周壁４を有する筒状体５を立設してこの筒状体５の外側に洗浄米２を投入する構成とし、この筒状体５の外側の水を筒状体５の周壁４を介してこの筒状体５内に通水して筒状体５の下方の排水部１から排水することで浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２の水切りを行うように構成したことを特徴とする酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具に係るものである。
【０００８】
また、請求項１記載の酒米や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具において、浸漬タンクＡの排水部１上に筒状体５を着脱自在に立設する構成とし、この排水部１上に筒状体５を立設した際、この筒状体５の下部開口部６が前記排水部１と連通するように構成したことを特徴とする酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切り具に係るものである。
【０００９】
また、請求項１，２いずれか１項に記載の酒米や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具において、筒状体５の下部の連設部８を、浸漬タンクＡの排水部１に形成した筒状の排水筒 10 に嵌合連設可能に構成したことを特徴とする酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具に係るものである。
【００１０】
また、請求項１〜３いずれか１項に記載の酒米や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具において、筒状体５の周壁４をパンチングメタルのような通水孔11を設けた部材，若しくは網材のような多孔通水孔を設けた部材，若しくはフィルターのような通水機能を有する部材，若しくは織布のような通水織目を有する部材で形成して水を通す周壁４に形成した構成としたことを特徴とするする酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具に係るものである。
【００１１】
また、請求項１〜３いずれか１項に記載の酒米や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具において、浸漬タンクＡ及び筒状体５をスレンテス材などの鉄分が溶出しない素材で形成したことを特徴とする酒米や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具に係るものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
好適と考える本発明の実施の形態（発明をどのように実施するか）を、図面に基づいてその作用効果を示して説明する。
【００１３】
請求項１記載の発明においては、洗浄米２を投入する浸漬タンクＡ内にして排水部１上に、水を通す周壁４を設けた筒状体５を立設してこの筒状体５の外部に洗浄米２を投入する構成としたから、この浸漬タンクＡの筒状体５の外側の水を筒状体５の周壁４を介してこの筒状体５内に通水して筒状体５の下方の排水部１から排水して、前記浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２の水切りを行えることとなる。
【００１４】
即ち、筒状体５の周壁４が従来例の穴開き板に相当し、浸漬タンクＡ内に洗浄した米を入れて筒状体５の周壁４で水切りを行ったり、洗浄米２に清浄水３を含水させた後に筒状体５の周壁４で水切りを行って排水部１から余分な水分を排水したりできる。
【００１５】
しかも、この水切りの際に筒状体５の周壁４上に米２が載置されることがないから、筒状体５の周壁４の通水性が悪化せず良好に排水作業を行うことができる。
【００１６】
また、清浄水３を含水させた洗浄米２を浸漬タンクＡの排水部１から落下させるときには、例えば浸漬タンクＡから筒状体５を取り外すと、浸漬タンクＡ内の米２に筒状体５形状の間隙が形成されるから、この間隙を利用して洗浄米２を落下させることにより、含水により膨張した洗浄米２でも詰まったり固まったりせずに良好に落下させることができる。
【００１７】
請求項２記載の発明においては、浸漬タンクＡの排水部１上に着脱自在に筒状体５を立設し、この筒状体５の下部開口部６が前記排水部１と連通するように構成したので、例えば洗浄米２の水切り作業や含水させた洗浄米２の余分な水分の排水作業を行う際、例えばこの排水部１から水を排水する排水口を開閉部で開閉操作するだけで浸漬タンクＡ内の水をこの筒状体５の下部開口部６から排水部１へ通水でき、水切り作業を簡単に行うことができる。
【００１８】
請求項３記載の発明においては、筒状体５の下部の連設部８を、浸漬タンクＡの排水部１に形成した筒状の排水筒 10 に嵌合連設可能に構成したから、筒状体５を浸漬タンクＡの排水部１上に立設したとき、筒状体５の下部の連設部８が排水筒10内に嵌合して支承されることとなり、水切り作業や排水作業において筒状体５が不意に転倒したりせず、それだけ作業性が良好となる。
【００１９】
請求項４記載の発明においては、筒状体５の周壁４をパンチングメタルのような通水孔11を設けた部材，若しくは網材のような多孔通水孔を設けた部材，若しくはフィルターのような通水機能を有する部材，若しくは織布のような通水織目を有する部材で形成して水を通す周壁４に形成したから、筒状体５の周壁４の通水性が良好で的確に水抜き作業を行うことができる。
【００２０】
請求項５記載の発明においては、浸漬タンクＡ及び筒状体５をステンレス材などの鉄分が溶出しない素材で形成したから、本発明品を使用して製造した清酒の味が変化したりしないこととなる。
【００２１】
【実施例】
図面は本発明の好適な実施の一例を図示したものである。
【００２２】
図１〜４に図示した本実施例は、下部に開閉可能な排水部１を設けた浸漬タンクＡに別工程で洗浄した洗浄米２を入れて水切り作業を行い、続いて、浸漬タンクＡに清浄水３を入れて洗浄米２に清浄水３を含水（浸漬）させた後、浸漬タンクＡの排水部１から余分な水分を排水させる排水作業を行う際に使用する酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具Ｂであって、水を通す周壁４を設けた筒状体５を前記浸漬タンクＡの排水部１上に立設した酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具に係るものである。
【００２３】
この筒状体５の上部には、筒状体５の上部開口部12を開閉可能な蓋体13を設けている。
【００２４】
また、筒状体５の上部には、筒状体５を持ち上げるロープやフックなどを引っ掛け可能な係止部17を設けている。尚、本実施例では、筒状体５を持ち上げるときのバランスから、筒状体５内に棒体18をチャンネル状に架設し、この棒体18の交点に係止部17を設けている。従って、前記蓋体13を開くと係止部17を使用可能となるが、蓋体13を閉じると筒状体５（水切具Ｂ）に余分な突出部が存在しないこととなり、水切り作業や排水作業を容易に行うことができる。
【００２５】
筒状体５の周壁４及び蓋体13は、洗浄米２を通さず且つ清浄水３を通すことができる通水孔11をステンレス部材に多数設けたパンチングメタルで形成されている。尚、筒状体５の周壁４と蓋体13を、網材のような多孔通水孔を設けた部材や、フィルターのような通水機能を有する部材や、或いは織布のような通水織目を有する部材などで形成しても、その作用効果は同様である。また、織布のような可撓性を有する素材を使用する場合は、筒状体５が浸漬タンクＡに入れた洗浄米２や清浄水３の圧力でつぶれてしまわないように、棒杆などの補強材で形状補強しなければならない。また、浸漬タンクＡ及び筒状体５（水切り具Ｂ）の素材は、製造する清酒の味に変化（悪影響）がないようにステンレス材などの鉄分が溶出しないものを使用することが望ましい。
【００２６】
浸漬タンクＡは従来例と同様のものを使用している。
【００２７】
浸漬タンクＡの排水部１の上部には上方が広がった下部集水部９を設けており、この下部集水部９の側内壁の傾斜により、浸漬タンクＡに入れた洗浄米２の水切り時において余分な清浄水３が集水され、良好に下方に導出されることとなる。
【００２８】
浸漬タンクＡの下部集水部９の下部には排水部１の排水口14及び後述する取出孔15に連通可能な排水筒10を設けている。また、排水口14は排水筒10に連設され、この排水口14を開閉する開閉部７を排水口14に設けている。
【００２９】
尚、図示していないが、排水筒10は穴開き部と排水筒10の周壁部との二重構造となっており、従来例も本実施例も清浄水３は穴開き部と周壁部との間隙を通過して排水口14に導出される。
【００３０】
また、排水筒10の下部には清浄水３を含水させた洗浄米２を落下させて取り出す取出孔15とこの取出孔15を開閉する開閉体16とを設けている。尚、取出孔15及び開閉体16を前記余分な清浄水３を排水する排水口14及び開閉部７に兼用しても良い。
【００３１】
筒状体５と浸漬タンクＡとは、筒状体５の下部の連設部８を前記浸漬タンクＡの下部の排水部１に形成した筒状の前記排水筒10に嵌合することにより連設され、この嵌合により筒状体５が排水筒10に支承保持され、転倒不能に立設される。尚、本実施例においては、筒状体５の転倒をより一層確実に防止するため、浸漬タンクＡにリング形状の支承補強体20を設け、この支承補強体20を筒状体５の周壁４に被嵌状態に配設している。
【００３２】
以下、本実施例の使用方法について詳述する。
【００３３】
先ず、浸漬タンクＡの排水部１を形成する排水筒10に筒状体５の下部の連設部８を嵌合して浸漬タンクＡの排水部１上に筒状体５を立設する。尚、浸漬タンクＡの排水口14を開閉する開閉部７は開いておき、また、取出孔15を開閉する開閉体16は閉じておく。
【００３４】
続いて、筒状体５の蓋体13上に別工程で洗浄した洗浄米２を置くようにして、浸漬タンクＡ内に洗浄米２を入れる。このとき洗浄米２の洗浄に使用した水は筒状体５の蓋体13及び周壁４を通過し、排水筒10及び開閉部７を経由して排水口14から排水される。また、洗浄米２は筒状体５の蓋体13上から浸漬タンクＡ内にバラバラと落下する。従って、浸漬タンクＡ内で洗浄米２と洗浄に使用した水とが可及的に接触しないこととなるから、洗浄米２に洗浄に使用した水が含水されないこととなる。
【００３５】
続いて、開閉部７を閉じて浸漬タンクＡ内に清浄水３を入れ、洗浄米２に清浄水３を含水させるため適度な時間放置する。
【００３６】
続いて、開閉部７を開き、余分な清浄水３を排水口14から排水する。
【００３７】
排水を終了し、所定時間放置して水切りを行った後、続いて、浸漬タンクＡの開閉体16を開き、また、筒状体５の蓋体13を開いて、筒状体５内の係止部17に筒状体５を取り出すためのフックをかけて筒状体５を浸漬タンクＡから取り出す。
【００３８】
従って、浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２には筒状体５の形状の穴が開くこととなり、浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２はバラバラと良好に浸漬タンクＡの取出孔15から落下させることができる。
【００３９】
以下、本実施例の作用効果を裏付ける実験例について詳述する。
【００４０】
尚、試験は酒造メーカーである今代司酒造（株）にて本実施例の使用方法に準じて行い、従来例の水切り作業は本実施例の筒状体を使用せず浸漬タンクの排水筒の穴開き部を使用して行った。
【００４１】
＜第一実験例＞
洗浄した白米４１０ｋｇ（他用途利用米の６０％精米（玄米より４０％削り取った残部。））について清浄水５８５ｌを浸漬タンクに投入し、時間及び排水量を測定して表１を得た。
【００４２】
【表１】

【００４３】
このように、本実施例は従来例より長い時間浸漬（含水）を行っても、従来例の約６割の水切時間で従来例と同様量の排水を行うことができ、しかも、排水後も従来例より多くの洗浄水が排水されているから、水切りが良好に行われていることが判明した。
【００４４】
＜第二実験例＞
洗浄した白米４１０ｋｇ（ゆきの精の６２％精米）について清浄水５８５ｌを浸漬タンクに投入し、時間及び排水量を測定して表２を得た。
【００４５】
【表２】

【００４６】
このように、第一実験例と同様に本実施例は従来例より排水及び水切りが良好に行われた。尚、第二実験例は第一実験例に比して、浸漬水の排水量が多くなっているが、これは、白米の品種の浸漬特性（水を吸いやすいか吸いにくいか。）や、精米率の違いのよるのではないかと推測される。
【００４７】
＜第三実験例＞
洗浄した白米４１０ｋｇ（五百万石の６６％精米）について清浄水５８５ｌを浸漬タンクに投入し、時間及び排水量を測定して表３を得た。
【００４８】
【表３】

【００４９】
このように、第一実験例と同様に本実施例は従来例より排水及び水切りが良好に行われた。また、第三実験例は第二実験例に比して、更に浸漬水の排水量が多くなっているが、第一実験例及び第二実験例の結果を含めて考察すると、高品質な酒造りに適した米を使用する程に排水量の差が大きくなっており、本実施例の筒状体は酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具として秀れた作用効果を発揮するものであることが判明した。
【００５０】
尚、各実験例を観察したところ、本実施例は、筒状体の蓋体の上に洗浄した米が一旦乗ることとなり、洗浄時に使用した水が筒状体（特に筒状体の内側。）に沿って落下して排水されるので、洗浄に使用した余分な水が最初に排水されることとなり、排水時間が短縮され、また、浸漬タンクの上部の米と下部の米とは浸漬水によりほぼ同時に吸水が開始されるから、限度吸水によっても均一に含水されることとなり、限度吸水の時間をより一層正確に決定でき、しかも品質の安定したおいしいお酒を製造することができる。
【００５１】
上記実験例の結果をまとめると、
(1) 本実施例の筒状体を採用した浸漬工程では、余分な水の排水が良好に行われて排水時間を大幅に短縮することができ、また、余分な水が出易く、限度吸水を採用して浸漬工程を行う場合、正確に吸水時間を設定することができ、品質の安定した清酒を製造することができる。
【００５２】
(2) 本実施例の筒状体を採用した浸漬工程は、高品質な酒作りに適した米を採用したときにより一層その作用効果が発揮されることとなり、高品質のおいしいお酒の製造に特に適することとなる。
【００５３】
(3) 本実施例の筒状体を採用した浸漬工程は、余分な水の排水後に筒状体を取り出すことにより、浸漬された米の層に筒状体形状の穴が形成されることとなり、よって、従来、浸漬によって米が膨張し、浸漬した米が固まって浸漬タンクから落ちにくかったが、本実施例では筒状体形状の穴の部分から容易に落下させることができる。
【００５４】
本実施例は上述のように構成したから、筒状体５の周壁４が従来例の穴開き板に相当し、よって、洗浄米２の洗浄に使用した水の水切り時や洗浄米２に清浄水３を含水させた後に排水部１から余分な水分を排水や水切り時に、従来例の穴開き板の相当する筒状体５の周壁４上に米が載置されることがないから、筒状体５の周壁４の通水性が悪化せず良好に排水作業を行うことができ、限度吸水を採用して浸漬工程を行う場合、正確に吸水時間を設定することができ、品質の安定した清酒を製造することができる実用性，作業性に秀れた酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具となる。
【００５５】
また、筒状体５の上部開口部12に通水可能な蓋体13を設けたから、他の工程で洗浄した洗浄米２の水切りを行うときに、洗浄米２がこの洗浄米２の洗浄に使用した水と可及的に接触しないこととなり、洗浄米２に洗浄に使用した水が含水されず、しかも、浸漬タンクＡの上部の洗浄米２と下部の洗浄米２とは清浄水３によりほぼ同時に吸水が開始されるから、限度吸水によっても洗浄米２に清浄水３が均一に含水されることとなり、限度吸水の時間をより一層正確に決定できて品質の安定したおいしいお酒を製造することができる実用性，作業性に秀れた酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具となる。
【００５６】
図５は本実施例の別例を図示したもので、筒状体５を上広がりに設けたものである。
【００５７】
従って、本別例では筒状体５の周壁４に浸漬された洗浄米２がより一層押圧されにくくなり、よって、水切りがより一層良好に行われ、また、洗浄米２を落下させるときに筒状体５を取り出し易く、大容量の浸漬タンクＡに適した酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具となる。
【００５８】
図６は本実施例の更なる別例を図示したもので、筒状体５の下部開口部６に浸漬タンクＡ下部の排水筒10に合致する通水できる通水板19を連設したものである。
【００５９】
従って、本別例では筒状体５の断面形状が浸漬タンクＡの排水筒10と異なる形状でも、浸漬タンクＡ内の洗浄米２は通水板19によって落下防止され、よって、どのような形状の浸漬タンクＡにも対応して本実施例の作用効果を良好に発揮することができる酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具となる。
【００６０】
図７は本実施例のまた更なる別例を図示したもので、内筒状部５ａの外側に外筒状部５ｂを摺動可能に設けて筒状体５を二段式とし、内筒状部５ａに係止部17を設けたものである。
【００６１】
従って、浸漬タンクＡの上に別の酒造装置や天井があったりして上下に長い筒状体５を引き出すことができない場合でも、内筒状部５ａだけを摺動させて引き上げることにより、含水（浸漬）させた米を落下させることができるより一層実用性に秀れた酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具となる。
【００６２】
【発明の効果】

【００６６】
請求項２記載の発明においては、浸漬タンクＡの排水部上に着脱自在に筒状体を立設し、この筒状体の下部開口部が前記排水部と連通するように構成したので、例えば洗浄米の水切り作業や含水させた洗浄米の余分な水分の排水作業を行う際、例えばこの排水部から水を排水する排水口を開閉部で開閉操作するだけで浸漬タンク内の水をこの筒状体の下部開口部から排水部へ通水でき、水切り作業を簡単に行うことができるより一層作業性に秀れた酒米の洗浄や含水に使用する浸漬タンク用水切具となる。

In addition, when using a flexible material such as a woven fabric, a rod or the like is used so that the cylindrical body 5 is not crushed by the pressure of the cleaning rice 2 or clean water 3 placed in the immersion tank A. The shape must be reinforced with the reinforcing material. Moreover, as for the raw material of immersion tank A and the cylindrical body 5 (draining tool B) , it is desirable to use what does not elute iron, such as a stainless steel material, so that the taste of the sake to manufacture may not change (adverse effect).
[0026]
The immersion tank A is the same as the conventional example.
[0027]
At the top of the drainage part 1 of the immersion tank A, there is provided a lower water collection part 9 that spreads upward. When the washing rice 2 put in the immersion tank A is drained due to the inclination of the inner wall of the lower water collection part 9 The excess clean water 3 is collected at, and is well drawn downward.
[0028]
In the lower part of the lower water collecting part 9 of the immersion tank A, a drain cylinder 10 is provided which can communicate with a drain port 14 of the drain part 1 and an outlet hole 15 which will be described later. Further, the drain port 14 is connected to the drain tube 10, and an opening / closing part 7 for opening and closing the drain port 14 is provided in the drain port 14.

In the present embodiment, in order to prevent the cylindrical body 5 from falling down more reliably, the immersion tank A is provided with a ring-shaped support reinforcing body 20, and the support reinforcing body 20 is connected to the peripheral wall 4 of the cylindrical body 5. Is disposed in a fitted state.
[0032]
Hereinafter, the usage method of a present Example is explained in full detail.
[0033]
First, the tubular body 5 is erected on the drainage part 1 of the immersion tank A by fitting the continuous connection part 8 at the lower part of the cylindrical body 5 to the drainage cylinder 10 forming the drainage part 1 of the immersion tank A. The opening / closing part 7 for opening / closing the drain port 14 of the immersion tank A is opened, and the opening / closing body 16 for opening / closing the outlet hole 15 is closed.
[0034]
Subsequently, the washed rice 2 is put into the immersion tank A so that the washed rice 2 washed in a separate process is placed on the lid body 13 of the cylindrical body 5. At this time, the water used for cleaning the cleaned rice 2 passes through the lid body 13 and the

peripheral wall

4 of the cylindrical body 5 and is drained from the drain port 14 via the drain cylinder 10 and the opening / closing part 7. Further, the washed rice 2 falls apart from the lid body 13 of the cylindrical body 5 into the immersion tank A. Accordingly, since the washing rice 2 and the water used for washing are not brought into contact with each other as much as possible in the immersion tank A, the washing rice 2 does not contain water used for washing.
[0035]
Subsequently, the opening / closing part 7 is closed, the clean water 3 is put into the immersion tank A, and the cleansing water 2 is allowed to contain the clean water 3 and left for an appropriate time.
[0036]
Subsequently, the opening / closing part 7 is opened, and excess clean water 3 is drained from the drain port 14.
[0037]
After draining and leaving to drain for a predetermined time, the opening / closing body 16 of the immersion tank A is opened, and the lid body 13 of the cylindrical body 5 is opened to A hook for taking out the cylindrical body 5 is put on the stopper 17 and the cylindrical body 5 is taken out from the immersion tank A.

[0039]
Hereinafter, experimental examples supporting the operational effects of the present embodiment will be described in detail.
[0040]
In addition, the test was conducted according to the method of use of this example at Imabashi Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., a brewery manufacturer, and the draining operation of the conventional example did not use the cylindrical body of this example, but the drainage cylinder of the immersion tank. This was carried out using the perforated part.
[0041]
<Example of the first experiment>
About 410 kg of washed white rice (60% polished rice for other uses) (the remainder removed by 40% from the brown rice) was charged with 585 l of clean water into an immersion tank, and the time and amount of drainage were measured to obtain Table 1.
[0042]
[Table 1]

[0043]
Thus, even if this example is immersed for a longer time (containing water) than the conventional example, the drainage of the same amount as the conventional example can be performed in about 60% of the drainage time of the conventional example, and also after the drainage. Since more washing water was drained than in the conventional example, it was found that draining was performed well.
[0044]
<Example of second experiment>
Table 2 was obtained by putting 585 l of clean water into a soaking tank for 410 kg of washed white rice (62% polished rice of Yukinosei) and measuring the time and amount of drainage.
[0045]
[Table 2]

[0046]
As described above, as in the first experimental example, the present example performed drainage and draining better than the conventional example. In addition, although the amount of drainage of the immersion water is larger in the second experimental example than in the first experimental example, this is due to the soaking characteristics of the varieties of white rice (whether it is easy to suck water or not to suck) and the polished rice. It is speculated that it depends on the rate difference.
[0047]
<Example of third experiment>
Table 4 was obtained by putting 585 liters of clean water into a soaking tank for 410 kg of washed white rice (66% polished rice of five million stones) and measuring the time and the amount of drainage.
[0048]
[Table 3]

[0049]
As described above, as in the first experimental example, the present example performed drainage and draining better than the conventional example. In addition, the third experiment example has a larger drainage of the immersion water than the second experiment example, but considering the results of the first experiment example and the second experiment example, the quality of the sake brewing The difference in the amount of drainage increases as suitable rice is used, and the cylindrical body of this example demonstrates excellent operational effects as a draining device for a dip tank used for washing and hydrating sake rice. It turned out to be.
[0050]
In addition, when each experimental example was observed, in this example, the washed rice was once put on the cylindrical lid, and the water used during the cleaning was the cylindrical body (particularly the inside of the cylindrical body). ), The excess water used for cleaning is drained first, draining time is shortened, and the upper rice and lower rice in the immersion tank are immersed in water. Since the water absorption starts almost simultaneously, the water is uniformly contained even by the limit water absorption, and the limit water absorption time can be determined more accurately, and a delicious liquor with stable quality can be produced.
[0051]
To summarize the results of the above experimental example,
(1) In the dipping process using the cylindrical body of the present embodiment, the excess water is drained well, the drainage time can be greatly shortened, and the excess water is easily discharged, and the limit water absorption When the soaking process is carried out by adopting water, the water absorption time can be set accurately, and sake with stable quality can be produced.
[0052]
(2) The soaking process using the cylindrical body of the present example is more effective when adopting rice suitable for high-quality sake making, producing high-quality delicious sake It will be particularly suitable for.
[0053]
(3) In the dipping process employing the cylindrical body of this example, a cylindrical body-shaped hole is formed in the immersed rice layer by removing the cylindrical body after draining excess water. Therefore, conventionally, rice has been expanded by dipping, and the dipped rice has hardened and it has been difficult to fall from the dipping tank. However, in this embodiment, it can be easily dropped from the cylindrical hole portion.
[0054]
Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the peripheral wall 4 of the cylindrical body 5 corresponds to the perforated plate of the conventional example. Therefore, when the water used for cleaning the cleaning rice 2 is drained or cleaned to the cleaning rice 2 Since no water is placed on the peripheral wall 4 of the tubular body 5 corresponding to the perforated plate of the conventional example when draining or draining excess water from the drainage part 1 after water 3 has been hydrated, the cylinder The water permeability of the peripheral wall 4 of the body 5 can be satisfactorily drained, and when the immersion process is carried out using the limit water absorption, the water absorption time can be set accurately, and the quality is stable. It is a draining tool for immersion tanks used for washing and hydrating sake rice, which is excellent in practicality and workability for producing sake.
[0055]
Moreover, since the lid body 13 capable of passing water is provided in the upper opening 12 of the cylindrical body 5, the washed rice 2 is used for washing the washed rice 2 when draining the washed rice 2 washed in other processes. The water used for washing is not contained in the washed rice 2 as much as possible, and the upper and lower washed rice 2 of the immersion tank A are separated by clean water 3. Since water absorption starts almost simultaneously, even with limit water absorption, clean water 3 will be uniformly contained in the washed rice 2, and the limit water absorption time can be determined more accurately, producing tasty liquor with stable quality. It can be used as a draining tool for dip tanks used for washing and hydrating sake rice with excellent practicality and workability.
[0056]
FIG. 5 shows another example of the present embodiment, in which the cylindrical body 5 is provided so as to spread upward.
[0057]
Therefore, in this other example, the cleaning rice 2 immersed in the peripheral wall 4 of the cylindrical body 5 becomes more difficult to be pressed, so that the draining of water is performed better and the cleaning rice 2 is dropped when it is dropped. The state body 5 can be easily taken out, and it becomes a draining device for a dipping tank used for washing and hydration of sake rice suitable for a large capacity dipping tank A.
[0058]
FIG. 6 shows another example of this embodiment, in which a water passage plate 19 that can pass water that matches the drain tube 10 below the immersion tank A is connected to the lower opening 6 of the cylindrical body 5. It is.
[0059]
Therefore, in this example, even if the cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical body 5 is different from that of the drainage cylinder 10 of the immersion tank A, the washed rice 2 in the immersion tank A is prevented from falling by the water flow plate 19, and thus any shape. In response to the immersion tank A, the drainage device for the immersion tank can be used for the washing and hydration of sake rice, which can effectively exhibit the effects of the present embodiment.
[0060]
FIG. 7 shows still another example of the present embodiment. The outer cylindrical portion 5b is slidably provided on the outer side of the inner cylindrical portion 5a to make the cylindrical body 5 into a two-stage type. A locking portion 17 is provided on the shaped portion 5a.
[0061]
Therefore, even when there is another brewing apparatus or ceiling on the immersion tank A and the tubular body 5 that is long in the vertical direction cannot be pulled out, only the inner tubular portion 5a is slid and pulled up, It becomes a draining device for a dipping tank used for washing and hydration of sake rice, which is more practical than the one that can drop (dipped) rice.
[0062]

It drains from a part and can drain the washing | cleaning rice in the said immersion tank.
[0063]
That is, the peripheral wall of the cylindrical body corresponds to the perforated plate of the conventional example, and the washed rice is put in the immersion tank and drained on the peripheral wall of the cylindrical body, or the cleaned rice is impregnated with clean water. It is possible to drain excess water from the drainage part by draining water at the peripheral wall of the body.
[0064]
In addition, since rice is not placed on the peripheral wall of the cylindrical body during draining, the utility and work that can perform drainage work well without deteriorating the water permeability of the peripheral wall of the cylindrical body It becomes a draining tool for dip tanks used for cleaning and hydrating sake rice with excellent properties.
[0065]
In addition, when dropping the washed rice containing clean water from the drainage part of the immersion tank, for example , removing the cylindrical body from the immersion tank, a cylindrical body-shaped gap is formed in the rice in the immersion tank, By using this gap to drop washed rice, even washed rice that has been swollen by moisture can be dropped well without clogging or solidifying. It becomes a draining tool for a dipping tank to be used.
[0066]
