Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a stopper having a special structure developing function stoppering a bottle and having action effect changing bottled sake to sake having aroma and mellow taste like barreled sake. SOLUTION: The part inserted in the mouth of a bottle of the stopper of a bottle is formed into a hollow container-shaped structure 4 and almost granular fine pieces 6 of a cedar or hinoki material are sealed therein.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention has the effect of imparting the aroma and richness to liquor placed in a glass bottle or the like, which is close to that of so-called liquor placed in a barrel made of cedar or cypress. It is a stopper that has been devised as follows.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Under the present circumstances, for example, a metal tank is used for storing liquor and a glass bottle or the like is exclusively used as a container for sale, so that a mellow scent and taste of liquor cannot be obtained. To remedy this shortcoming, there is a method of putting shavings of cypress in a small sachet of paper and suspending it in a liquor bottle to add the flavor of liquor. However, such a work is especially required when drinking sake, and such a method is to put tea leaves or coffee powder in a paper pack with a string into a tea bowl containing hot water. Then, it is the same as the case of drinking as so-called instant tea or instant coffee, and does not constitute an invention by a new device.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to eliminate this drawback, according to the present invention, when a bottle is capped, liquor that comes into contact with the outside of the stopper inside the bottle is sealed in the hollow inside of the stopper. In the process of permeation through granular pores such as cypress, etc. through small holes, it imparts a scent and mellowness like barrel liquor, and its effect is continuously spread to the whole liquor. By doing so, the bottled liquor is changed from the one that gives the taste of barrel liquor.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to obtain a so-called barrel liquor and a rich taste despite the bottled liquor, the simplest possible method is the liquor in the bottle. The same method as the barrel material, that is, cedar or cypress is directly put, but this is not the proper method. Therefore, as a means to improve this method, by making only the portion of the stopper to be inserted into the bottle hollow, this is made into a container shape, in which a cedar or cypress or other granular shape is formed. By enclosing a small piece close to the bottle, and allowing the alcoholic beverage in the bottle to permeate through the many small holes, the effect similar to the case of directly contacting the same thing as the barrel material can be achieved. Can be given to alcoholic beverages inside.

[0005]

Since the present invention is a stopper having the above-mentioned structural characteristics, the process in which the alcoholic beverage in the bottle permeates into a granular-like strip of cedar or cypress that is the same as the barrel material continues. By reason
The action and effect gradually spread to the whole liquor in the bottle, and as a result, the liquor in the bottle is given a mellowness and aroma like barrel liquor.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention relating to bottle stoppers will be described below with reference to the drawings. (A) At the mouth portion 5 of the bottle, the inside of the stopper portion 4 to be inserted therein is hollowed to form a container. (B) A large number of small holes 8 are formed on the outer side and the bottom of this hollow container-like object so that they can communicate with the inside of the hollow. (C) Open the upper lid 2 of the container-shaped object 4 and put a strip 6 or cedar or cypress-like granular piece 6 inside the container 4. (D) After the above work is completed, the upper lid 2 is closed and the strip 6 is sealed inside the container-shaped portion 4 of the stopper to structurally complete the stopper. (E) Put the alcoholic beverage 7 in the bottle, insert the stopper of the structure according to the present invention into the mouth of the bottle, and seal the upper part with the sealing metal fitting 1 and let it lie as shown in FIG.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention] After a lapse of a considerable time, by continuing the process in which the liquor in the bottle penetrates into the granular pieces 6 of cedar or cypress that are enclosed in the stopper, The action and effect spread to the whole liquor in the bottle, and the scent of cedar or cypress is transferred to the liquor and changes into a kind of barrel liquor that is also taste-rich.
