National Fungus

Jan 9, 2016 12:21
Yesterday, I told you about national gemstones, but today I will introduce a national fungus.

The national fungus symbolize the country, and only Japan defined it as far as I know.

The national fungus in Japan is Aspergillus oryzae, which is indispensable for the Japanese food culture.

The Aspergillus oryzae can make various enzymes by decomposing grain components.

By using this property, we have produced ingredients such as soy sauce, miso, and sake, that are used for Japanese foods.

This fungus indeed represent Japan.
国菌

昨日は国石について話しましたが、今日は国菌を紹介しようと思います。

国菌とは国を代表する菌のことで、私の知る限り国菌を定めているのは日本だけです。

日本の国菌は麹菌と呼ばれるカビの一種で、日本人にとっては欠かせない菌です。

麹菌は穀物成分を分解し酵素を作ることができます。

この性質を利用して、和食の基盤となる醤油、味噌、日本酒などを製造してきました。

まさに国を代表する菌というわけです。
