Memory of this week!

 I went to eat ramen for lunch with my family. It was fun to eat out with my family after a long time. The shellfish ramen was very delicious! The pork chop and shellfish were so big and, I was satisfied. I want to go eat again!

Next Monday is holiday, so I'll get rid of this week's fatigue and do my best from Tuesday! 

Last week an event!

Last week's a happening!

I take the train to school. Last week, I fell asleep on the train twice. Fortunately, the return train came right away, so I was able to go back. I want to be careful not to oversleep on the train this week!

School festival!

I went to the school festival at the university I attend. There were various food stalls and exhibitions, so I was able to enjoy!  I went to many festival stalls with my friends, but the most delicious of all was the matcha! It was my first time drinking matcha served in a tea ceremony. It was delicious!

UP1 Task1 Special Lecture

A special lecture was held at the university last Wednesday!

It was said about “Sake, fermenter, and Japanese culture."

Fermented food and food culture 

Fermented food is a living food made by microorganisms.  A yeast is called koji plays an 

important role in sake. Koji have amylase starch.

Japan has knowledge of "the wisdom of microorganisms and humans coexisting " and "preserved food".

Difference between Beer, Wine, and Sake

• Beer -wheat - 5% - starch→sugar
• Wine - grape - 12% -sugar + yeast → CO2 or alcohol 
• Sake - rice - 15~16% - starch → sugar via koji

The process of making Sake

From April to September make rice, and from October to February make sake.

Koji breaks down rice starch into sugar. Moromi is a fermented liquid mixed with rice, water, yeast and koji.

Forcas culture

The connection between rice and sake is rooted in Japanese culture and represents Japanese culture.

There is a way of thinking that "身土不二". The meaning is body and soil are not two!

The word "culture" is related to "cultivate", showing the importance of rice in life and society.

What I leaned

In this special lecture, I learned that we could inherit culture by acting on what we are interested in. Through this lecture, I also decided to take action on what I was interested in.

I through that if I could experience it at the seminar, I would be able to deep it as a candidate for my job. And this lecture is easy to understand about the close relationship between local companies and local residents. I think that's a great thing!
