Vol.11 Issue 2 / Latest topics 2Pursuing deliciousness from a scientific perspective Shimadzu鈥檚 beer initiative Educational
A craft beer jointly developed by Shimadzu Corporation and ISEKADO(Nikenjayamochi Kadoya Honten, Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Japan) called 鈥淜ocho鈥擝REWED on Science by ISEKADO and SHIMADZU Innovation 鈥� was launched in January 2023 as a limited edition of 1,000 bottles and was well-received. 鈥淜ocho鈥� is brewed from the wild 鈥淏OKE yeast.鈥� Shimadzu鈥檚 liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS) and gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC-MS) were used to analyze the beer. This is the first time in Japan that a manufacturer of analytical and measuring instruments and a craft brewer have collaborated to launch a beer.
In this collaboration, Shimadzu and ISEKADO analyzed the aroma and metabolic components of beers made from four different types of yeast, all brewed under the same conditions. The 鈥淏OKE yeast鈥� used in 鈥淜ocho鈥� is a wild yeast from the fruit of a Boke tree near the old Shimbashi Station in Tokyo. Although it produces a unique aroma compared to commercial yeast, it is less stable during fermentation.
Analyzing Beer Metabolites from Old and New Breweries
In 2018, to identify the cause of 鈥渜uality variations鈥� that occurred during the relocation of ISEKADO鈥檚 brewery, Shimadzu conducted a comprehensive analysis of beer metabolites from both the old and new breweries using GC-MS. The analysis revealed that certain components were detected at high concentrations, indicating that the yeast used in the new brewery was under stress. Additionally, by utilizing LC-MS to analyze ISEKADO鈥檚 hop beverages, it was discovered that they contained functional components not commonly found in typical beers.
Shimadzu鈥檚 GC-MS and LC-MS technologies played a crucial role in this investigation. The GC-MS analysis allowed for the identification of specific stress markers in the yeast, while the LC-MS analysis provided insights into the unique functional components of the hop beverages. This comprehensive approach helped ISEKADO address the quality issues and optimize their brewing process. Shimadzu鈥檚 analytical instruments, such as the GC-MS and LC-MS,are essential tools for R&D and quality control in the food and beverage industry. These instruments, combined with sensory evaluations, enable a thorough understanding of the taste and flavor profiles of products. Since 2018, ISEKADO has been leveraging scientific data from these analytical instruments in collaboration with Shimadzu to enhance the quality and consistency of their beers.
Shimadzu is committed to addressing these emerging trends and challenges in food industry by developing innovative solutions and applications.By leveraging our expertise in analytical technologies, we aim to support the industry in creating sustainable, delicious and healthconscious products. Our ongoing research and collaborations will continue to drive advancements in brewing science, ultimately benefiting consumers and the environment alike.
Quantifying Beer Aroma
When developing pairing menus that complement Far Yeast Brewing鈥檚 beers, Shimadzu utilized the 鈥淪mart Aroma Database鈥� for GC-MS.This database contains analytical conditions and compound information for over 500 aroma components found in foods and beverages. The analysis revealed that Far Yeast Brewing鈥檚 beers contain higher levels of certain aroma components compared to typical beers, contributing to their differentiation from other brands.
Shimadzu鈥檚 analytical instruments, such as the GC-MS and the Smart Aroma Database, are essential for quantifying the flavors and aromas of beer. This scientific approach ensures a high level of quality and consistency, helping breweries like Far Yeast Brewing stand out in the competitive craft beer market.

‘I felt you did: I don’t know why,’ she said. Life on a steamship at sea has many peculiarities. The ship is a world in itself, and its boundaries are narrow. You see the same faces day after day, and on a great ocean like the Pacific there is little to attract the attention outside of the vessel that carries you. You have sea and sky to look upon to-day as you looked upon them yesterday, and will look on them to-morrow. The sky may be clear or cloudy; fogs may envelop you; storms may arise, or a calm may spread over the waters; the great ship goes steadily on and on. The pulsations of the engine seem like those of the human heart; and when you wake at night, your first endeavor, as you collect your thoughts, is to listen for that ceaseless throbbing. One[Pg 53] falls into a monotonous way of life, and the days run on one after another, till you find it difficult to distinguish them apart. The hours for meals are the principal hours of the day, and with many persons the table is the place of greatest importance. They wander from deck to saloon, and from saloon to deck again, and hardly has the table been cleared after one meal, before they are thinking what they will have for the next. The managers of our great ocean lines have noted this peculiarity of human nature; some of them give no less than five meals a day, and if a passenger should wish to eat something between times, he could be accommodated. Another condition of apprenticeship that is equally as difficult to define as the commercial value of mechanical knowledge, or that of apprentice labour, is the extent and nature of the facilities that different establishments afford for learners. Bang! The shutter was closed again. But I did not give it up, for I needed the sisters' assistance to find a shelter somewhere. Once more I made the bell to clang, and although I was kept waiting a little longer, at last I heard voices whispering behind the gate and once more something appeared behind the trellis. Such a view was essentially unfavourable to the progress of science, assigning, as it did, a higher dignity to meagre and very questionable abstractions than to the far-reaching combinations by which alone we are enabled to unravel the inmost texture of visible phenomena. Instead of using reason to supplement sense, Aristotle turned it into a more subtle and universal kind of sense; and if this disastrous assimilation was to a certain extent imposed upon him by the traditions of Athenian thought, it harmonised admirably with the descriptive and superficial character of his own intelligence. Much was also due to the method of geometry, which in his time had already assumed the form made familiar to us by Euclid’s Elements. The employment of axioms side by side with definitions, might, indeed, have drawn his attention to the existence and importance of judgments which, in Kantian terminology, are not analytic but synthetic—that is, which add to the content of a notion instead of simply analysing it. But although he mentions axioms, and states that mathematical theorems are deduced from them, no suspicion of their essential difference from definitions, or of the typical significance which they were destined to assume in the theory of reasoning, seems ever to have crossed his mind; otherwise he could hardly have failed to ask how we come by our knowledge of them, and to what they correspond in Nature. On the whole,385 it seems likely that he looked on them as an analysis of our ideas, differing only from definition proper by the generality of its application; for he names the law of contradiction as the most important of all axioms, and that from which the others proceed;277 next to it he places the law of excluded middle, which is also analytical; and his only other example is, that if equals be taken from equals the remainders are equal, a judgment the synthetic character of which is by no means clear, and has occasionally been disputed.278 387 We have now reached a point where Greek philosophy seems to have swung back into the position which it occupied three hundred years before, towards the close of the Peloponnesian War. The ground is again divided between naturalists and humanists, the one school offering an encyclopaedic training in physical science and exact philology, the other literary, sceptical, and limiting its attention to the more immediate interests of life; but both agreeing in the supreme importance of conduct, and differing chiefly as to whether its basis should or should not be sought in a knowledge of the external world. Materialism is again in the ascendant, to this extent at least, that no other theory is contemplated by the students of physical science; while the promise of a spiritualistic creed is to be found, if at all, in the school whose scepticism throws it back on the subjective sphere, the invisible and impalpable world of mind. The attitude of philosophy towards religion has, indeed, undergone a marked change; for the Stoic naturalists count themselves among the159 most strenuous supporters of beliefs and practices which their Sophistic predecessors had contemned, while the humanist criticism is cautiously guarded by at least an external conformity to established usage; but the Platonic doctrine of immortality has disappeared with the dogmatic spiritualism on which it rested; and faith in superior beings tends to dissociate itself from morality, or to become identified with a simple belief in the fixity of natural law. One temple to Buddha only, on an elongated plan, ends in a vault forming a bulb-shaped cupola supported on massive columns, quite Byzantine in character and wholly unexpected. The dim light, coming in only through a low door and two small windows filled in with pierced carving, enhances the impression of being in some ancient European fane, and the Buddha on the high altar has a look of suffering and emaciation that suggests a work of the fourteenth century. The man was dressed in blue and silver, his belt studded with four-anna pieces; hanging to his girdle was a whole array of small knives, sheaths, and boxes. With his sleeves turned up to his elbows, he fairly amazed me, conjuring away into the air eight rupees that filled his hand, and finding them again one by one in our pockets, bags, or plaids. He turned everything topsy-turvy, swaggered as if he were the master, and then went off, with his broad smile, to amuse other travellers. “Well,” Sandy grinned, “the chewing gum disappeared! Supposing the fellow we thought we saw vanishing really was there and got out some way. He’d know, from Jeff landing us and our going in, that the amphibian might not be usable when he’d need it——” She reloaded for him, and fired from time to time herself, and he moved from the little round hole in the wall to one in the window blind, in the feeble, the faithless hope that the Indians might perhaps be deceived, might fancy that there was more than the one forsaken man fighting with unavailing courage for the quiet woman who stayed close by his side, and for the two children, huddled whimpering in one corner, their little trembling arms clasped round each other's necks. Back of her, a score or more of miles away, were the iron-gray mountains; beyond those, others of blue; and still beyond, others of yet fainter blue, melting into the sky and the massed white clouds upon the horizon edge. But in front of her the flat stretched away and away, a waste of white-patched soil and glaring sand flecked with scrubs. The pungency of greasewood and sage[Pg 313] was thick in the air, which seemed to reverberate with heat. A crow was flying above in the blue; its shadow darted over the ground, now here, now far off. "The very same company," gasped the woman. The firing grew pretty noisy. "Off!—where?"
