今年もゆずをたくさんもらいました。
I received a lot of yuzu this year too.
子供たちがゆず風呂好きなので
ゆずをお風呂に入れて体を温めたいと思います。
My children like yuzu baths, so I would like to warm up their bodies by putting yuzu in the bath.
でも、なにか忘れていることがありそう。
But it seems like I’m forgetting something.
その正体はゆず酒です。
Its true identity is yuzu sake.
目次
完全に忘れていました I completely forgot
今年の3月にゆず酒の中から皮だけを取り出しました。
In March of this year, I took out just the skin from the yuzu sake.
本来であれば５月に実を取り出して熟成のはずでしたが、
完全に忘れていまして現在12月です。
Originally, I was supposed to take out the fruit and ripen it in May, but I completely forgot and it’s now December.
前回の皮取り出しの時点で6か月遅れでしたが、
今回の失態でさらに7か月遅れとなりました。
It was 6 months late when the skin was removed last time, but this blunder has pushed it back another 7 months.
合計で13か月です。
13 months in total.
もうこれはついでに熟成させたと思うしかありません。
I can’t help but think that this has already matured.
まぁ、大丈夫でしょう。
Well, it’s okay.
実を取り出します take out the fruit
忘れていたゆず酒はこのような状態でした。
The yuzu sake I had forgotten about was in this state.
実が下の方に溜まっています。
The fruit is gathered at the bottom.
これを取り除く作業をします。
I’ll work on removing this.
まずは酒だけを除けます。
First, let’s exclude alcohol.
残った実はこんな感じです。
The remaining fruit looks like this.
実をすべて取り出し、酒を戻します。
Remove all the fruit and add the sake back.
フィルターを使って濾そうと思いましたが、時間がすごいかかるので
直入れしました。
I thought about using a filter to filter it out, but it would take a lot of time, so I put it in directly.
実がないと酒の量は半分くらいになりました。
Without the fruit, the amount of alcohol I drank was cut in half.
飲んでみます I’ll try drinking it
味はまぁまぁでした。
The taste was okay.
柑橘系のお酒って感じがします。
It tastes like a citrus drink.
ゆず酒はお酒というだけでなく、
健康にも効果があります。
Yuzu sake is not only an alcoholic drink, but also has health benefits.
ゆず酒の効能としてこれらがあります。
These are the benefits of yuzu sake.
風邪予防
cold prevention
疲労回復
fatigue recovery
貧血防止
Anemia prevention
低血圧予防
Hypotension prevention
食欲増進
Increased appetite
これから冬なので冬のお酒という感じで飲んでいきたいと思います。
Since winter is coming, I would like to drink it as a winter drink.

Memo: Cold resistance of yuzu
Citrus fruits have the image of being grown in warm places.
It snows in Toyama in winter.
But my family grows yuzu.
Is yuzu resistant to cold?
I looked it up.
Cold resistance of yuzu
Yuzu is one of the most cold-resistant citrus fruits.
It can be grown in the garden up to -7 degrees.
It was said that it would wither when the temperature reached -9 degrees.
Depending on the variety, it seems that it can be grown even in the Tohoku region.
Cold resistance of other citrus fruits
I would like to list the cold resistance of representative citrus fruits.
Tangerine -3 to 5 degrees
Lemon -3 degrees
Orange -3 to 4 degrees
Grapefruit 0 degrees
Looking at this, you can see how yuzu is highly resistant to cold.
summary
As a result of this research, it was found that yuzu has high cold resistance, as expected.
When we think of yuzu, we associate it with winter, and its benefits include warming the body and preventing colds.
I believe that we have been using yuzu for a long time, and that it has been praised for its high cold resistance.
Thank you Yuzu.
Yuzu forever.
