- Foster a climate of Fukuyama First black.
Here in Fukuyama (Fukuyama-cho, Kirishima), First black Sakamoto has been made ​​in the manufacturing process unique unparalleled in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that the land of Fukuyama and made ​​it possible to build First black.
There are three major reasons.
Warmth one. Average temperature of the year is 18.7 ℃. Fukuyama south-facing hills almost no plains. Located at the far end of the Kagoshima Bay, is surrounded on three sides by mountains. It is a warm place throughout the year for that. In addition, the preparation of building is rooted in black First climate, where the building is neither plant nor a warehouse, it is a "pot field." So called from the scene are lined with pot Noten and that takes place on the building so that farming is the First Black called "field". A good temperature for fermentation, pot field can bathe herself solar energy, micro-organisms that are settled in the pot is indispensable to build First black. First of black Sakamoto be built is being nurtured in the warm climate and environment of Fukuyama.
The second reason is that high-quality groundwater. Kagoshima is the place that has the Aira caldera, delicious water that comes out from Shirasu plateau.Fukuyama was a famous place among the best waters in Kagoshima for a long time.Field on the mountainside behind the pot, there is a ("Castle) around (around the" alias) castle called "Castle Nitao" Once upon a time, it was called the water out of this land and water "around". It is so delicious water said to have been presented to the lord of Satsuma Shimazu lord. Also rich in water, in the vase field, tap underground water drawn is attached here and there. Where water "around" Even if I twist is to come out.
- I was charged in the famous water that had been presented to the lord.
- pot harvest is over, waiting for the next feed.
The third is the existence of the harbor. Fukuyama building but not rooted coming from in front of two hundred years as a local industry, the town originally prospered as a commercial port. It was among one of the best port of Kagoshima. Although the building is what began in Satsuma porcelain vases black First, precisely because it was a commercial port, I was able to easily get the vases that are essential to making First black. Satsuma age, to the payment to the government rice distribution center of the clan it was also the port of Fukuyama.
Rice and raw material gathered Satsuma porcelain vases therefore was a commercial port. Groundwater quality and mild climate ideal for building First it black. A number of conditions can not overlap, was born in this Fukuyama.

1800s, manufacturing began in the provinces Fukuyama pot vinegar Satsuma clan in the late Edo period. About the origin of this vase vinegar, there are geographical and historical background of some.
Fukuyama region, the weather is very warm regions to be surrounded by hills on three sides, is located on the south-facing slope. Annual average temperature is warmer than Kagoshima and 18.7 ℃, because it is maintained moderate humidity, is an environment in which microbial activity is likely to build the vinegar.
In the transportation hub of the Satsuma clan era, payment to the government of the United States to the clan are integrated in this land, local Fukuyama, had been transported by ship from the port of Kagoshima towards Fukuyama originally. This means that the U.S., which is a raw material was abundant in Fukuyama.
In the wall of Aira Caldera made years ago about 25,000, age Satsuma called "water around", the hills surrounding the three-way local Fukuyama, spring water rich out of the hillside this, the water best in the clan was intended as with origami.
In the tea masters learned about the tea ceremony Sen no Rikyu, Yoshihiro Shimazu lord of Satsuma, the pottery had a deep interest. When around 1600, Prince Yoshihiro was take to the field in Korea, along with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I came back accompanied us Korean potters. Then, start burning Satsuma porcelain while receiving treatment as a samurai, they've been handed down from generation to generation technology. In Fukuyama harbor at the time, was a transportation hub, it was easy to get into situations where you do not want Satsuma porcelain vases also written to the creation of vinegar jar.
Against this background, excellent quality that a reputation for making vinegar pot starts at Fukuyama, brewery vinegar pot many were built in the blink of an eye, in its heyday brewery also 24 hotels is the land of Fukuyama I lined the.
Taisho and early Showa era, synthetic vinegar can be synthesized from petroleum is now produced, as an inexpensive synthetic vinegar is pressed, began to show a decline vinegar jar. For it as if to add insult to injury, the Pacific War happened in the 1940s, control of the rice is done, to obtain the raw material rice I've also lost.
I was forced to go out of business or change of employment in sequence Brewery who was lined throughout Fukuyama. Only internal sea of brewing Sakamoto Sakamoto had continued to protect the technology of making vinegar potato pot by changing the raw materials from the U.S. even in the era of such hardship.
However, do not go against the wave of the future, also built sea Sakamoto has decided to close down the creation of vinegar pot in their own, to Akio Sakamoto's son, he decided to make the road to another.
1965, in the world are harmful food is a problem, the boom of natural food desire arose. Along with it, to be shunned by people even synthetic vinegar made ​​from oil, vinegar pot began to be noticed again.
On the other hand, Akio Sakamoto, who graduated from Kyushu University School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, I opened a pharmacy adjacent to the National Hospital, Kagoshima, Kagoshima back to local.
Where are arranged in the pharmacy vinegar pot father had made, was recommended drinking to patients in the hospital, a voice that had the effect, such as chronic hepatitis or frozen shoulder, the disease was not cured until now that I come to be of interest in, Akio Sakamoto is was supposed to be aware of the potency of the vinegar jar.
Where to Professor Okura science analysis and pharmaceutical Pharmacy, Kyushu University was a classmate in college, was asked to analyze the vinegar vase, Akio Sakamoto, the surprising result that contains the amino acids and peptides Flyers there is reported, was resumed in earnest finally making vinegar jar.
1975 (1975), Akio Sakamoto, you've named will be the beginning of the current boom black vinegar "(black vinegar) First black" and the name of this vase vinegar. After this, we actively collaborating with a number of public institutions and universities with the First Black Sakamoto brewing, we have reported the results of various studies from the standpoint of medicine, agriculture and pharmaceutical.
Also led to the modern, continues to stubbornly defend the preparation of the First Black Sakamoto brewing tradition, environmental protection is demanded in today, it has attracted attention as a Slow Food is environmentally friendly. -
Born in the manufacturing process as "First Black", the First Black "First black powder mash".
Contains many useful ingredients for both, it is attracting attention as a material health.
About the features of a brief introduction to the "First Black" "First black powder mash".
The fermentation of the "First Black" is a variety of microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, yeast Aspergillus are involved in a complex way.Such as organic acids, amino acids, peptides, which are produced in a variety of fermentation is, creating a unique taste of deep black First. Phenomenon mysterious colored liquid gradually superimposed as aging, is not able to successfully understand the whole picture yet.
We can not be derived by fermentation of rice that does not dissolve in water, which is produced in the fermentation process of the First black, takes only several hundred grams from one pot "First mash black powder." It contains a lot of quality along with the fiber, a wealth of amino acids and peptides, has attracted attention in recent years as well as healthy material.

Saigo Takamori 西郷隆盛 (1828-1877)
A Satsuma samurai and twofold rebel
Born in Kagoshima in the Satsuma domain (present-day Kagoshima Prefecture) Saig� Takamori was one of the Satsuma samurai supporting the Meiji Restoration. He has often been called the "last true samurai".
Saig� was an early opponent to the Tokugawa shogunate. He was exiled from 1859 to 1864 to Amami Ōshima island, then returned to assume command of the Satsuma troops based in Kyoto. He formed an alliance with samurai from Aizu domain against the forces of rival Ch�shū. After the Meiji Restoration he became advisor to the new Meiji emperor and first staunchly rejected the Westernization of Japan.
In 1873, while many senior statesmen like Ito, Okubo or Kido were abroad on the Iwakura Mission, Saigo pressed the government to invade Korea, so as to punish it for not opening relations with the new Meiji government. When the Iwakura Mission returned to Japan in September 1873, Saigo's plan was rejected, partly from budgetary considerations, and partly from realization of the weakness of Japan compared with the western countries.
Satsuma Rebellion (1877)
Saig� took badly what he thought was an rebuttal and suffered a breakdown. He retired from the government with a group of likeminded dissidents and returned to Kagoshima. He soon gathered supporters among disenchanted samurai and those harbouring ill intentions against the central government.
Saig� was a conservative, old-style samurai, who still lived with the values of honour and purpose. In January 1877, he led the Satsuma rebellion and attacked the government troops in Kumamoto sending 40,000 men, mostly peasants armed with guns, against a force of 300,000 samurai officers and conscript soldiers. The ensuing six-week battle ended in a victory for the government's conscript army.
Saig� and the last 400 of his loyal men retreated to Kagoshima, where he committed seppuku after having suffered a severe hip injury in battle on 24 September 1877.
Legacy
He is seen as a paragon of virtue by many and considered the last real samurai to die as such. A famous bronze statue of Saig� in hunting attire with his dog stands in Ueno Park, Tokyo. Made by Takamura Koun, it was unveiled on 18 December 1898. A reproduction of the same statue stands on Okinoerabujima, where Saig� had been exiled. Saig�'s last stand against the Meiji government in the Battle of Shiroyama was the historical basis for the 2003 film "The Last Samurai". Katsumoto, played by Ken Watanabe in the movie, is based on Saig�.
