JP6029727B2 - Awamori maturation method - Google Patents

Description

When selling Awamori, it is sold in a container such as a bottle or turtle, but the container has been devised so that aging proceeds smoothly even after being transferred to the sales container. Moreover, since the sales volume of Awamori is decreasing, PR which leads to sales promotion is required.

It is known that when the container containing awamori is shaken, the aging of the internal awamori progresses and becomes delicious. Such a device is also disclosed in Patent Document 1.

Utility Model Registration No. 3179597

As described above, swinging using a motor becomes a large scale and is for commercial use. If consumers at the end can easily mature, awamori spreads and consumption increases. There is also a movement to register Awamori as a World Heritage site, and it is necessary to disseminate knowledge about Awamori to general consumers in order to promote Awamori culture. A PR effect for increasing the consumption of Awamori can also be expected.
The technical problem of the present invention pays attention to such a problem, and realizes an awamori container and a container holder that can be easily aged even by an amateur consumer and also lead to PR of awamori.

The first aspect of the present invention has an indentation for inserting and guiding only the lower portion of the bottle having a vertical cylindrical shape near the bottom, and the lower outer surface in contact with the installation surface is formed in a spherical shape or a convex arc shape that is easy to swing. A simple ripening method for awamori characterized by standing a bottle with awamori in a holder and inserting only the lower part to ripen awamori .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the simple aging method for awamori according to the first aspect, wherein only the central portion of the unstable holder is flattened, the curvature is reduced, or the central portion is increased.

Claim 3, the bottom closer has a recess for insertion guide only the lower vertical cylindrical bottle, the lower outer surface in contact with the installation surface is formed in the swinging easily spherical or convex arcuate, awamori This is an unstable holder that guides the insertion of only the lower part of the bottle containing the bottle.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the unstable holder according to the third aspect, only the central portion of the unstable holder is flattened or has a small curvature or a heavy central portion.

As in claim 1, a spherical or convex circle having a depression that guides and inserts only the lower part of a vertically cylindrical bottle at the bottom, such as a 1 bottle bottle, and whose lower outer surface in contact with the installation surface is easy to swing. When the fountain bottle is placed in the unstable holder formed in an arc shape and only the lower part is inserted into the unstable holder, the foam is shaken and matured. Further, when the bottle with awamori is shaken while standing, the unstable holder is difficult to stabilize, and thus it can be effectively aged by swinging effectively.

Since only the central part of the unstable holder is flattened or has a small curvature or a heavy central part as in claim 2, it is gradually increased as specified in the middle of the paragraph “0022” at the time of filing. Bottle B can be made upright. In this way, after shaking to some extent, it can be stably standing upright and stopped, so it can be explained that it is implied to prevent smoldering of awamori and it can be stopped.

As in claim 3, the bottom portion has a recess for inserting and guiding only the lower portion of the vertical cylindrical bottle, and the lower outer surface in contact with the installation surface is formed in a spherical shape or a convex arc shape that easily swings . Because it has an unstable holder that guides and inserts only the lower part of the bottle with awamori, when the bottle with awamori is inserted and guided only for the lower part, the internal awamori may shake When the bottle with awamori is shaken while standing, the unstable holder is difficult to stabilize, so it can be effectively aged by swinging effectively, so simply provide an unstable holder with a simple configuration Awamori can be matured.

As specified in the middle part of the paragraph “0022” at the time of filing, by making only the center part of the unstable holder flat or reducing the curvature or making the center part heavy as in claim 4, The bottle B can be gradually erected. In this way, after shaking to some extent, it can be stably standing upright and stopped, so it can be explained that it is implied to prevent smoldering of awamori and it can be stopped.

It is a perspective view of an example of the awamori container by this invention. It is the perspective view which put the awamori container on the stabilization stand and was stabilized with the favorite posture. It is a perspective view of a regular octagonal awamori container. It is a perspective view of the Awamori container formed in the shape of an arc by taking the angle of a regular octagon. It is a perspective view of the awamori container formed in spherical shape. It is the perspective view which stood the bottle in the holder with a spherical part at least at the lower part. It is sectional drawing of the state which stood the bottle on the holder which consists of a part of cylinder. It is the perspective view which expressed the character of "person" with two bins. It is a perspective view using a 1-can can as a awamori container.

Next, how the awamori container according to the present invention is actually embodied will be described in an embodiment. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a awamori container according to the present invention, which has a circular front wall 1 and a circular rear wall 2, and both side walls 3 and 4, a ceiling wall 5 and a bottom wall 6 in a state where a cylinder is laid down. A drum-shaped container is formed. A mouth 7 for taking in and out awamori is formed at the center of the ceiling wall 5, and a cap for closing the mouth 7 is removed.
When the awamori is put in a container in which the cylinder is laid in this manner and shaken, the bottom wall 6 has an arc shape, so that the amplitude gradually decreases and finally stops, but it swings over a long period of time. Therefore, by repeating such rocking, the awamori inside is also shaken and matured.

If only such a container is used, it is too unstable and the position where it stops is not constant. Therefore, if triangular stoppers S1 and S2 are placed on both sides, movement can be restricted. As shown in FIG. 2, when placed on the stabilizing base 8 whose upper surface is a concave arc shape and whose lower surface is flat, it does not sway and stabilizes when placed. When the curvature on the center side excluding the left and right ends of the stabilization table 8 is reduced as indicated by a chain line, the stabilization table 8 swings within the range of the stabilization table 8. C is a cap.

Increasing the number of polygon corners will approach a circle. FIG. 3 is a regular octagonal shape of the cylindrical shape of FIGS. 1 and 2, and the orientation of the container C can be changed freely by changing the posture of the container depending on which side faces downward.
In place of the configuration in which each side of the container is flat as shown in FIG. 3, if the arc shape R is used as shown in FIG. 4, the swinging is facilitated. Moreover, it does not cross adjacent arcs unless it is shaken strongly. When the arc shape is formed in this way, it looks like a petal and feels softer than a polygonal case.
If the container is not flat like the polygonal shape of FIG. 3 but is arcuate as shown in FIG. 4, when the container is shaken, the internal awamori moves in a complicated manner, so that aging proceeds smoothly due to the stirring effect, It is effective. It is also implied that there are 48 rip-offs and waking ups and 48 Awamori factories in Okinawa.
As described above, in the case of a container having the drum-shaped front wall 1 and the back wall 2, if the front wall 1 and the back wall 2 can be vibrated softly, they vibrate in response to sound, so the internal awamori also vibrates. Matured.
Therefore, a soft synthetic resin rich in flexibility, a metal plate such as a stainless plate, or cardboard is preferable so that the front wall 1 and the back wall 2 can easily vibrate. A synthetic resin film or a metal foil may be laminated on the inner surface.

Placing the awamori container under the guard is more effective because it receives mechanical vibration and is noisy. If you put awamori in a hexahedron container like the one can shown in Fig. 9 and put it under the guard, each side will receive noise and vibrate, as well as mechanical vibration when the train passes, Best for aging Awamori.
When using under the guard, placing a awamori container on a shelf suspended from a bridge girder eliminates any dampers, so vibrations and sound when the train travels are directly transmitted to the container, which is more effective.
In addition, the material of the container when stored under the gart may be a synthetic resin plate or a cardboard pack in addition to the metal plate so as to be easily deformed by noise.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the shape of the container is a spherical shape 9. When the container 9 is shaken in a state in which the awamori is placed therein, the container 9 sways in all directions, so that the internal awamori is effectively aged. If the bottom is spherical or has an arc shape as shown in FIG. 1, there is a risk of rolling, so it is preferable to make only the bottom somewhat flat or reduce the curvature.
If a ring is formed with a thick string or rope, and a foam container having a bottom or a spherical shape is shaken in the ring, it becomes a stopper to restrict movement and movement.

While the awamori container itself has been devised as described above, FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate the idea that an unstable holder is sandwiched between the bottoms of common bottles. In the case of FIG. 6, it is a part 10 of a sphere, and a shallow depression 11 is formed as a guide so that one bin B or the like can be placed thereon.
In this embodiment, a bottle having an outer diameter smaller than that of the guide 11 is assumed, but a part of a sphere smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle can be bonded to the bottom of the bottle with a water-soluble adhesive or the like. In this case, since a part of the sphere protrudes from the bottom of the bottle, the bottle swings in all directions.

In FIG. 7, a hollow 13 into which the bottom of the bottle B enters is formed in a part 12 of the cylinder, and the bottom of the bottle B with foam is inserted, so when the bottle B is shaken in the direction of the arc, Awamori swings and matures. In the above description, the Awamori container was shaken by human power, but if a sail such as a fan is attached to the container, it is also shaken by the natural wind force from an air conditioner.
If the bottle B is to be stabilized in an upright state, only the central part of the sphere part 10 and the arcuate part 12 may be flattened or the curvature may be reduced . The bottle B can be gradually made upright also by the method of filling the center part with sand or lead 14 and making it heavy. As described above, after being shaken to some extent, it can be stably standing upright and stable, so it can be explained that the prevention of excessive stagnation of awamori is implied and it can be stopped.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, when the two bottles B and B with awamori are set up diagonally to support each other, the character of “people” is formed, and Okinawan people “join” or “support” each other. You can express that you are alive in the spirit of “compatibility”.

As described above, since a container such as a 1 jar containing awamori easily swings by itself or a part of the container itself is a part of a sphere or cylinder that easily swings, Because it is promoted and has a unique shape, the origin of the container and the age of aging can be used as a storyline while rubbing awamori, and it can also be used to prevent itching. In addition, because it is highly topical, it can contribute to Awamori's World Heritage registration and increased sales.
