きほんの醤油 6本1 6 6 6 No1 22 22
食卓で、気軽に利き醤油を。
「どれも同じじゃないの？」──そう思っていた方こそ驚くはず。色、香り、味の違いを楽しみながら、自分好みの1本を見つけてみてください。
6本並べて味見をすれば、ワインのテイスティングのような雰囲気に。ご家族やご友人と一緒にすれば、大きく盛り上がっていただけると思います。
基本となる醤油の6分類
実は、上の写真の背景にある6色は、すべて醤油の実物の色を撮影したもの。製法や熟成期間によって見た目からはっきりとした違いがあります。
中心にある濃口醤油が流通量が最も多く、関東地域では一般的な醤油です。左側の醤油は見た目が淡くて素材を活かすタイプ、右側は熟成期間の長い濃厚タイプです。
塩やレモンをかけて素材そのものを引き立てたい時は左のタイプ、ソースをかけて食したい素材には右のタイプがおすすめです。
醤油を使い分けると、食はもっと楽しくなる。
| 分類 | 色 | 味わい | おすすめ料理 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 白醤油 | 琥珀色 | 香り味ともに控えめ。ほのかな甘みも。 | だし巻き卵、お吸い物、オリーブオイルと混ぜてドレッシング、炊き込みご飯 |
| 淡口醤油 | 黄金色 | 素材の引き立て役。塩の代わりにかけても。 | 冷奴、白身の刺身、炊き込みご飯 |
| 甘口醤油 | 赤褐色 | 九州などの甘い醤油。地域に根付いた味。 | 九州風の味付け、煮物、卵かけごはん、焼きおにぎり |
| 濃口醤油 | 赤褐色 | 全国でつくられる味。万能で定番。 | 納豆、焼き魚、目玉焼き、シュウマイ |
| 再仕込醤油 | 漆黒色 | バランスよく濃厚。ソースの代わりにかけて。 | 赤身の刺身、ステーキ、バニラアイス、餃子 |
| 溜醤油 | 漆黒色 | 大豆が主原料。濃厚でうま味たっぷり。 | 照り焼き、肉料理、赤身魚、すき焼き |
しろたまり／日東醸造（愛知県）
白醤油は小麦が主原料で熟成期間を短くした醤油です。見た目は綺麗な琥珀色でしょっぱさも感じる醤油でが、調理に使うと素材の彩りや風味を活かすことにかけてはNo1の存在。だし巻き卵やお吸い物にはぴったりです。
この「しろたまり」の原材料は小麦と塩と焼酎のみ。白醤油としての味と風味を追求した結果、一般的な白醤油と比べて仕込水の量を半分にして大豆を一切使わない製法に至りました。卵との相性がとてもよいので、だし巻き卵や茶碗蒸しに。
淡紫／末廣醤油（兵庫県）
淡口醤油は西日本ではよく見かけるると思いますが、使われるシーンは調理が多いと思います。ただ、ぜひ「かけ醤油」として使ってみてください。塩やレモンをかけたい素材とあわせるのがおすすめで、繊細だったり淡泊だったりする素材をしっかりを引き立ててくれます。
この「淡紫」は米麹を使うことで、淡口特有のしょっぱさをまろやかにしていることが特徴です。淡口醤油の老舗が、かけて使う場面にベストな味わいを追求したもので、素材の風味やうま味を活かすための醤油です。
こいくち 甘露／吉村醸造（鹿児島県）
九州に代表される甘い醤油。その中でも、結構甘みが強いタイプです。好き嫌いは分かれるかもしれませんが、九州育ちの方にとっては、この味がまさに醤油。関東育ちの方にとっては驚きに味になるはずです。
この「こいくち 甘露」は、吉村醸造の代表作で、煮物にも使える鹿児島の甘口の定番。まずはそのままの醤油を味わってみてください。そして、刺身や漬けに使うと、普段の醤油との違いを実感いただけるはずです。焼きおにぎりや卵かけごはんなど、醤油に熱が加わる用途に使うと、また味わいが変わってくると思います。
木桶仕込みしょうゆ／弓削多醤油（埼玉県）
関東育ちの方にとっての定番といえるのがこの濃口醤油です。ただ、この醤油は製法が少し違います。伝統的な木桶仕込みのタイプで、国産大豆を天然醸造で時間をかけて熟成させています。かけ醤油から調理まで使い勝手の安心感があります。
木桶仕込みの特徴は蔵ごとの個性が表現されることで、弓削多醤油独特の「香り」があります。ぜひ、ご自宅にある醤油と香りの比較をすると、同じ濃口醤油の種類の中でも個性があることを感じていただけると思います。
鶴醤／ヤマロク醤油（香川県）
再仕込醤油は熟成期間が長く、色が濃くて味わいもしっかりしている醤油です。一般的な濃口醤油と比べて約2倍の原材料を使って、約2倍の時間をかけて仕込みます。ソース代わりに使うのがおすすめで、赤身の刺身やステーキ、揚げ物や餃子、バニラアイスにかけるとキャラメル風味になったりも。
この「鶴醤」は小豆島のヤマロク醤油の代表作で、再仕込醤油の中でもかなりの長期熟成に位置します。約2年の熟成を経た醤油を桶に戻し、再び仕込むことさらに2年。深いコクとまろやかさを極限まで追求した醤油です。
尾張のたまり／丸又商店（愛知県）
溜醤油は大豆が主原料でうま味成分が醤油の中で一番高い濃厚さが特徴です。その中でもこの「尾張のたまり」は小麦を一切使用しないグルテンフリー醤油として海外にも輸出をされているタイプです。
赤身の魚や脂身の強い肉とあわせることで、醤油と素材の一体感を楽しめるはずで、赤ワインとあわせたい料理に使っていただくイメージです。また、熱を加えることでさらによさが発揮されるので、本みりんや砂糖などとあわせて照り焼きやすき焼きなどに使うのも熱烈なファンが多いです。
職人醤油のカタログを同梱します

great resource for high school parents
Format: Paperback
A terrific book -- on many levels. It is, first, a series of excellent suspense stories, with vivid characterizations of the students seeking admission to Wesleyan. The author found some fascinating students to follow, with the result that the reader really cares what happens to them. Even more important -- especially to someone about to embark on the college hunt -- he provides an invaluable insight into how the admissions process works. The admissions game, I now realize thanks to this splendid tale, is a crazy-quilt mixture: at Wesleyan, at least, the process focuses on the individual, quirks and all, far more than I imagined. At the same time, the process comes off as frighteningly random -- with so much depending on which admissions officer reads the application, and what that person focuses on in the few minutes available. The book is also a vivid reminder that admissions officers are people, too -- people of infinite variety.
So it was a pleasure to read -- and it will also prove immensely useful to parents. One common theme kept repeating: take the hard courses, even if it means lower grades. Another: having a passion is a real plus, but the rest of the record can't be a disaster. But those are just the beginning.

Very accurate view of admission (I worked there); compelling read, enlightening even for people who think they already know
Format: Kindle
I was a Senior Interviewer during my senior year at Wesleyan 1981 and so I worked with many of the main characters in the book. Although the book describes a later time period it rang entirely true to me. The volume of applications...the controlled chaos...the searching for a hook or a champion for an application was very familiar.
At least at Wes it seemed (and seems) that unless one's application has some unusual feature that the school is looking for that year (a particular athlete or a particular musician or a particular tough background that was overcome) the road to admission will be challenging.
An area that did surprise me was the emphasis on the family of the applicant...and the degree to which an applicant was held to a higher standard if their parents were deemed to be college fluent. I guess this makes sense and actually provides a leveling of the playing field but it was surprising none the less.
It may also be surprising to some that these days you don't just need to convince the gatekeepers that you could be successful at the school..you must also show how your presence would enhance the school. This is of course an enormous burden for most teenagers.
Like it or not this is the reality at many "top" schools. If you or your child is applying to college you owe it to yourself to read this book....either to understand the game or to make an informed decision not to play.

What is better? The overachieving 6 or underachieving 8?
Format: Hardcover
First, let me say that I thought that this was an excellent book and would recommend it to anyone who is at all interested in the college admissions process. Second, I was surprised at how many of the reviewers seemed shocked--shocked!--that applicants got bonus points for coming from minority backgrounds. Was this some kind of revelation? However one thing that surprised me a little bit is how--even moving beyond race entirely--the more advantages you have had in life, the more disadvantageous it will be for your admissions process. For example, I was unaware that having successful parents would be, in essence, held against you on the theory that more would be expected of you. While other reviewers have (jokingly?) said that they would advise their white kids not to check the "Caucasian" box, I might advise my (still very young) kids to say that their parents have been unemployed their whole life.
I suppose that the main issue which this whole process really boils down to is the following: As a college applicant, is it more important to succeed in life relative to the world around you (i.e. relative to your classmates, to others of your race, to others of your geographical area, to your own parents' life and accomplishments, etc.) or is it more important to succeed absolutely and not on a relative scale. This book clearly informs us that the answer is the former and not the latter. Whether that should be the answer is another question.
For example, say that a student's entire life could be distilled into 2 numbers each on a sliding scale from 1-10. The first number is simply your academic performance (grades, SAT's, course load, etc.) The second number is your background (race, economic circumstances, gender, etc.) In the case of Wesleyan, it seems clear to me that they would rather have a student whose first number was, say, a 6 if his or her second was a 2 (take Mig for example in Steinberg's book) than a student whose first number was an 8 if the second number was a 9 or 10 (take Tiffany Wang for example). Whether that is the right approach is certainly a legitimate issue for discusion and I'm not saying that it's not.
I suppose that one of the things that would be interesting to know (even though one never really can know of course) is whether those numbers will change in the future. For example, if one were to know that Mig would always be a 6 and Tiffany would always be an 8, would that change the analysis as to which is the right approach? I suspect that part of the reason that a school like Wesleyan would favor the overachieving 6 over the underachieving 8 is due to the hope or expectation that those trends will continue in the future and that one day the 6 will actually be ahead of the 8. And maybe that's the way it works. Who knows.

You will find out how a selective private college evaluate and admit students
Format: Paperback
I'm a high school counselor and college advisor. Fifteen years ago when I started my college counseling position, I struggled to understand or explain to students and their parents how a selective private college evaluate and admit students. It was this book that helped me understand the essence of selective private college admissions. Compared to other dry theory books, this book tells the admissions practice as stories that are easy to read, understand, and associate with. I highly recommend this book to students, parents, and new counselors.

Who edited this mess?!?!?!?
Format: Kindle
This is a very interesting work of nonfiction. I found it intriguing and read it very quickly. I actually got invested in these students and their stories and their journey to get admitted to the college that was right for them. BUT, and this is a big but, this book is so poorly edited, it is disgraceful! If a person were reading this for research purposes, and it could be useful for just that, good luck to them. The dates are all over the place. At one point, the kids are being considered for the class of 2004, then it makes a reference to the current year as 2000, then it reverts back to 2004 for a long while, then it mentions how the kids--currently at their various chosen colleges--reacted to the events of 9/11/01. What the hell? It's very confusing. It makes it very difficult to keep things in context.
