    <p>Thirty-three rice vinegar production methods were obtained from 16 books dating back to the Edo period and earlier. The rice vinegar production methods of the Edo period were characterised by a remarkably lower water: materials ratio (volume percentage of water relative to rice and koji) than that employed in the modern times. Furthermore, vinegar production was restricted to summer season, and required a short preparation period of approximately one week to one month. The reproduction test of rice vinegar was conducted at a vinegar manufacturing company that had been producing traditional rice vinegar since the Edo period; the procedures followed were that described in the books from the Edo period. Currently, the water: materials ratio used is approximately 300%. However, when the water: materials ratio was 100-250% as described in the Edo period books, lactic acid fermentation occurred and the ethanol content increased to as high as 9-13 g/ 100 m<i>l</i> during the initial stage of preparation, but acetic acid fermentation was not observed. This suggests that throughout the Edo period, the fermented lactic acid products containing 1-2 g/100 m<i>l</i> lactic acid were obtained via rice vinegar production method and used as vinegar.</p>

  • Use of Vinegar in Japanese Cuisine during the Edo Period Reviewed

    <p>We studied the use of vinegar in cooking in the Edo period, through the details of vinegar dishes extracted from 33 cookbooks of that period. A total of 1,371 varieties of vinegars were used throughout the Edo period, which was slightly more than the types of soy sauce used. However, cookbooks from the early Edo period mention vinegar 1.5 times more often than soy sauce. Therefore, we speculate that vinegar was the most commonly used seasoning before soy sauce became popular. The most frequently described vinegar dish in these cookbooks was "fish namasu", which accounted for 43.9% of all the vinegar dishes. There were 122 types of vinegar mixed with spices, foods, or seasonings, of which 61 types were vinegar-mixed miso, to which spices or foods were added. The Edo cookbooks mention several cooking methods with heat, using vinegar termed "suiri". This was primarily used for dishes prepared by simmering. Two types of simmering were described, viz., simmering after adding vinegar, and adding vinegar after simmering in suiri. Other cooking methods, such as heating with a small amount of vinegar, and pouring hot vinegar onto raw fish, were also described. Use of vinegar for cooking with heat, appears to be popular during the Edo period, which is not very common in modern Japanese cuisine.</p>
