| Scope & content | By Satake Our agriculture started with sake brewing. People offered harvested rice, sake and rice cake to the gods. Sake is part of everyday living and its development covers a long historical journey. Here we introduce the history of sake brewing, the people who contributed to rice milling and sake brewing technology, and modern sake brewing technology. These three notable originators of sake from Hiroshima were Wahei Kimura (Founder of sake brewery “Kamotsuru”), Senzaburou Miura (Inventor of brewing with soft water) and Riichi Satake who invented the first power-driven milling machine in Japan. Riichi not only designed it but also produced its parts by himself. However, dissatisfied with the results, he recalled three of the machines which he had already delivered and added a further improvement, his invention of the four linked type mortar power-driven milling machine. In 1908, he invented the second Satake circulating power-driven milling machine, now including an emery milling chamber and an internal spiral roll. |
