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。

Beauty as an assassin? Yes, please.
Format: Kindle
I am a sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings, especially when there is fae magic involved. This story is a stand-alone and can easily be read and enjoyed as such, but the story in the background is waiting to unfold. Briannis is a lost woman trying to find her place in the world. She happens to be an excellent assassin, but only when there is a good reason behind the job. She runs afoul of the law and is coerced into killing the King of Fae. Their tale begins with much violence and mistrust. They reach an understanding that turns into more as they are stuck inside the Keep thanks to the murderous roses encasing the building. Some of my favorite quotes "This is not very..." "Proper?" His low drawl curled around her guts, sweet and syrupy. "I thought you'd realise by now that I'm far from a proper man, Miss Iavi." She swallowed hard. "You're... you're not making sense. You don't even like me." "I don't?" he said dryly. "I tried to kill you! Three times in a row!" "You may want to leave," he added, barely even moving his lips. His voice was low and raspy, little more than a growl; the words came out with laboured breaths. "Before I no longer let you." "You can’t just act like you didn’t have your fingers inside me a few hours ago! That’s not something you talk about over strawberries!" He took a sip of tea. "You’ve had your knife inside me too." "That," she said exasperatedly, "is something extremely different." "In the sense that I’d be happy to repeat one incident and not the other, yes." He smiled at her over his teacup, shameless... "You make a terrible king out of me, Briannis Iavi." "Are you very sure? There’s no need to be polite if you—" "I’m not being polite!" A trembling laugh escaped her. "I have no intention at all of being polite to you!"

Love how this author writes, BUT..
Format: Kindle
I wanted to love everything about this book. I had this book release on my calendar. I read it the moment it became available. I’ve become a big fan after Marshall’s Blood and Bindings series, and I think she does a beautiful job writing complex, thoughtful characters. BUT. Spoilers below- This book missed the mark in two important ways for me. The first is the intro - this “very proper lady assassin” - first of all - we are supposed to believe that SHE is who the most powerful man in the city chose to assassinate his mortal enemy? Sure. She had killed some unsuspecting guys. But the leap from there to a Fae king with magic? And when she goes to do it- she does it by blindly bumbling around his castle and walking into the room where he is and trying to stab him in the middle of the day? I am willing suspend a lot of disbelief for a good story, but that was a major stretch that made the whole premise of the book feel contrived. And second… a whole dead side of his body? Like … dead. As in.. she smelled the rot. Saw the skeleton and dead mouth and skin. And then … had sex with it? Um. I’m no prude but … yuck. I couldn’t get past the necrophiliac imagery and visual, and it was a major turn off for me.

Fantasy Romance
Format: Kindle
✨’Would it truly be that bad?' he muttered, and for the first time since she'd awoken, there was a hint of humanity in his quiet words, a crack in that jaundiced shield. Warm breath brushed past her scalp. His arms didn't let go. 'If you ended up here with no way to leave?' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Fantasy Romance 📖 🥀Oh, these moment with our MMC reach deep for me and make me love him all the more! Curse Of The Thorn King is @authorlisettemarshall’s new and utterly enchanting Beauty and the Beast retelling, and I absolutely loved it! This steamy, forced proximity, enemies to lovers story is the first installment in the new Wayfarer Fae series and I fell hard for these characters! ✨I thoroughly enjoyed the unique flower magic systems, the assassin plot, all of fun additions of Lady Lockwell's Handbook of Etiquette, and how that factored into the story. The flirtatious and stabby banter between the two main characters had me grinning like a complete fool as the romance developed….all while experiencing the moments that made my heart ache and even break for our MC’s as the plot unfolded. 🥀As I read Curse of the Thorn King I was consumed by that quintessential balance of angst, tension, steam, COMPLETE frustration (in the best way) emotional turmoil, and swoon worthy moments that my heart has come to associate with the magic of Lisette Marshall’s writing. This authors always makes me feel allll the feels ✨✨It is no surprise that I intimately drawn to these characters and their story. ✨I highly recommend Curse Of The Thorn King to fantasy, fantasy romance, and romantasy readers.

5 ⭐️ / 2.5-3 🌶️
Format: Paperback
I do not know where my original review went so I’m reposting Includes: - Beauty and the Beast vibes, but with a Fae twist - Enemies to lovers - Slow burn - Forced proximity - Standalone HEA There are now two books I love that have opening sentences that reference bars of soap. @authorlisettemarshall ‘s books never disappoint me and this standalone is no exception. I absolutely love her writing style, the unique magic systems she uses, as well as her ability to convey such vivid details regarding things like clothing and places. It really helps someone like me (who isn't a good visualizer) immerse myself in the story. It also MUST be said that Lisette has really mastered the art of writing the slow burn for me. With fun characters and banter, she sprinkles in little breadcrumbs here and there that help with the romance build up and, baby, I'm hot on those breadcrumbs' trails just EATING them up. TLDR; Put this on your TBR.
