Description

義侠の酒粕(500g)A ()()

もともとは、学生時代の友人

私(高橋)の学生時代の友人である山田昌弘氏。彼の実家が造り酒屋だったという偶然からはじまりました。

「毎年、冬になると甘酒を飲むのが好きで・・・」なんて話がきっかけで、いただいた酒粕。水に溶けるスピードの速さに驚きました。今までの酒粕はしばらく水に浸しておいて、それをゆっくりと火にかけながら崩しつつ甘酒にしていく印象でしたが、この酒粕はあっというまに溶けてしまいました。

 

違いは何かを聞いてみると

そんな山田昌弘氏に、「義侠の酒粕は何が違うのか?」を聞いてみました。

1)使用している米そのものの違い
義侠は、「白いダイヤ」と称されることもある山田錦を原料に使用。山田錦は酒造好適米の中でも最高峰とされており、その中でも兵庫県東条特A地区の山田錦を100%使用して全量純米仕込みにこだわっています。

2)搾りすぎない
お酒を搾る際に、少しでも多くお酒を造るために圧力をたくさんかけて搾ることもありますが、その際、お酒には雑味が多くなり、粕には風味が無くなってしまいます。山忠本家酒造では過度な圧をかけることなく、酒と粕を造っています。

3)磨いた米を使用している
どれだけお米を磨いているかを表す数値に「精米歩合」というものがあります。大手の商品は一般的に70%~85%(30%~15%が米糠として削られる)くらいの物が多く流通しているのが現状です。今回の酒粕は60%精米(40%が米糠)ですので、雑身が少なく、風味豊かに仕上がっています。

 

そもそも、どんな酒造りを目指しているのか?

そんな話を聞いていて気になるのが、そもそも、「どんな酒造りを目指しているのか?」ということ。山忠本家酒造が目指す酒造りは「飲んで旨い酒」を造ることなんです!と即答。

「一口目よりも二口目の方がうまく感じるような酒です。香りを良くしていくと第一印象は良いと思うのですが、そうではなくて、米のポテンシャルを最大限まで酒に還元させられるような酒なんです。」

こんなスタンスで手掛けている日本酒の酒粕。
我が家で毎年愛用している酒粕です。

山忠本家酒造(愛知県愛西市)

山忠本家酒造の銘柄は「義侠(ぎきょう)」。明治期の酒価格急騰の折に、小売店との契約を守り採算度外視で安値のまま供給しつづけた事で、商人から「義侠」の名を贈られたという逸話が残っているそうです。

Great Cooling, But Lacking Support
Color: White, Size: Standard
I have to agree with some of the other reviews—this pillow just doesn't offer enough support. It initially feels plush and inviting, but after a minute or so, your head sinks too far and ends up pressing against the underlying latex, which has a rubbery, somewhat uncomfortable feel. It might be an excellent fit for those with smaller frames, but for me, it fell short in terms of proper neck and head support. On the plus side, the cooling aspect is impressive. It's cool to the touch and noticeably more breathable than many pillows I've tried. I've seen some complaints about it not staying cool all night, but honestly, no pillow really does. Casper's claim of "12 hours of cooling" seems like marketing optimism—your body heat will eventually warm up any pillow, no matter how well-designed. That’s just basic thermodynamics. All in all, it's a well-made pillow with excellent cooling performance. If you have a smaller frame, this could be a great choice. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work for my needs.

Is this a joke?
Color: White, Size: King
I don't usually write reviews, but I have to for this pillow. The pillow measures 16" x 32", not 18" x 34" as stated in the description. That's not really a big deal, but they should have the correct size in the description. The problem with this pillow is the total lack of support. My head falls through this pillow within a half hour of laying my head on it. This causes me neck pain and I have to switch to my old pillow in the middle of the night. I'm a bigger dude that's 6'3" and I only sleep on my side. I thought this pillow would be great based on the other reviews that stated it works for side sleepers. I would describe this pillow as a greatly overpriced marshmallow. The pillow does have some decent cooling properties, but they don't last all night as described. This pillow would probably work great for someone who sleeps on their stomach. I wouldn't recommend this pillow to a bigger dude that's a side sleeper. Note: I did find a great Casper pillow that works for me. I bought the Casper Sleep Essential Cooling Foam pillow on Amazon. It's the one that's all foam with a phase change layer to help with cooling. The pillow has great support and it doesn't cause me any neck pain. The best part is the price, it cost less than half the price of the Hybrid Snow Pillow. I hope this review helps someone.

A Near Perfect Pillow
Color: White, Size: King
I was hesitant to order this pillow because it was so expensive. I was looking for a cooling pillow and after a previously purchased pillow lost it's "cool" after a few nights of sleeping on it, I was concerned that this Casper pillow would do the same. The pillow is so comfortable. My only complaint is that it does not seem to hold the coolness all night. I find I need to flip the pillow over part way through the night. But, when I flip the pillow, it is perfectly cool. The pillow is supportive without being too firm. I love this pillow!

Not quite right….
Color: White, Size: Standard
I’m torn on this pillow. While it does have merit, there were some serious “flaws” for me. I am a side sleeper and I’ve been on the hunt for a neck supportive pillow. This didn’t have that for me. The night started with good possibility, but I woke up several hours in and found the pillow flat where I was; all the filling had moved to the top. It IS very cool to the touch and I could definitely tell it was cool while sleeping on it. The loft of this pillow is fine, but not stupendous, and the softness was pretty great. Overall, just not the best. If the filling had stayed put through the night, I might’ve kept, but as it was, I returned.

Does the job!
Color: White, Size: Standard
This pillow offers superb support and stays cool. It replaced my previous one from a couple years back. I did notice that, like so many things, it isn’t as full as my previous one but still offers a good nights rest for this side sleeper.
