小さな蔵元だからこそ

創業は明治初期。手造りで醤油と味噌を醸造しています。醤油づくりで最も大切ともいわれる麹造り、鈴木醤油店ではそれを麹蓋で行っています。全国的にみても珍しい手法。石造りの室の中にはたくさんの麹蓋が積まれています。

 


ぜんぶを手作業で行います

とにかく手間のかかる製法です。室で麹を寝かせる期間は足掛け3日。中に入っている一枚一枚を定期的に組み替え、麹蓋の中で固まった麹を手でほぐしながら育てていきます。

室の温度管理は、天井にある小窓を開けて温度を逃がし、温めるときは七輪で炭を燃やします。昔の醤油蔵はみなこの作業をしていたのですが、今では数えるほどしか残っていない伝統的な製法です。

 




実はりんご農家でもあります

「細かくしたりんごの枝も一緒に燃やすんですよ」と6代目の鈴木良浩さん。炭とすすの力で殺菌効果が得られて、室の中を薬剤で消毒する必要がなくなるそうです。でも、なぜリンゴの枝?実は鈴木さんはリンゴ農家でもあるのです。醤油一本にしようかと悩んだ時期もあったといいますが先祖から引きついた畑、両方続けることにしたそうです。

 


ゆっくり時間をかけて大豆を蒸す

大豆の蒸し方にも特徴があります。木桶を改造した大豆の蒸し器は鈴木さんの自作。下から蒸気を入れる仕組みです。大手の醤油メーカーは圧力をかけ短時間で大豆を蒸しますが、鈴木さんは無圧で時間をかけて蒸します。逆のアプローチなのです。

大豆が柔らかくなるのに3~5時間。つきっきりで蒸気を調整したり混ぜたりを繰り返します。大豆に火を通していくと香りが変わり、ゆっくり蒸すことで大豆が甘くなるそうです。

 


正真正銘の手造り

木桶は断熱効果があり、蓋をしておけば熱が逃げにくいそうです。大豆を蒸すのが13時から18時頃にかけてで、そのまま一晩置いた翌朝も大豆は熱々のまま。酸化して雑菌にも強くなるそうです。

ご本人はまだまだですと謙遜されますが、麹蓋による麹づくりと櫂棒による攪拌、昔ながらの道具を使い手間がかかる手仕事も楽しんでいる様子が伝わってきます。正真正銘の手造りを名乗れる天然醸造醤油です。

 


まずは白ご飯にそのままかけて

丁寧に造られた醤油の魅力をダイレクトに味わうには、シンプルに食すことが一番。炊き立ての温かい白ご飯にひとまわし。平右衛門の優しい香りとまろやかな甘みを感じ、じっくりと贅沢な気分で味わいたくなるはずです。おにぎりに少しかけても◎。

 


秘訣は6代目の真っすぐな姿勢と笑顔

醤油の味と蔵元の社長の性格は似てくると感じています。鈴木さんは元高校教師。質問をするととても分かりやすく丁寧に優しい笑顔で答えてくれます。そのお話の中で最も印象に残っているのは、「①きれいな環境でつくる ②丁寧につくる ③当たり前を守る。すると特別な技術がなくてもおいしくなるんですよ!」。

 


搾る作業が楽しい

一番楽しい作業は何ですか?と質問すると、「作業服は一番汚れるけど、搾る作業ですかね」とのこと。やっとお客様へ届けられるという思いが喜びにつながるそうです。お会いするたびに新しい話題が尽きない鈴木さん。冬の寒い時期に行うことが一般的な仕込みを、試験的に夏にしてみたり、白醤油や淡口醤油に挑戦したり・・・。常に新しいことも探求し続けているようです。

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol
