Jomon Beneficial Microorganisms Project
World heritage microorganisms revived from Jomon Prehistoric
Sites in Northern Japan
About the project
"The Jomon period was preserving the ingredients in an earthen vessel.Is there a possibility that fermentation has happened accidentally?"
The idea of the project was born from such a chat.
After various preparations, with the National Institute of Technology, Hachinohe College,
the Jomon Beneficial Microorganisms Project started at the Sannai Maruyama Site in 2020.
First of all, we succeeded in isolating microorganisms from the Jomon strata of the Sannai-Maruyama site, which is about 4,200 years old.
We are looking for a business to commercialize.
The Jomon period, when peace and harmony continued for about 12,000 years
Just as each of us has a variety of faces and personalities, the same type of yeast has different properties.
With the cooperation of bakeries, brewers, and the Aomori Prefectural Industrial Technology Center,
We have started trial production for commercialization.
Yeast emerged from ruins that convey a life of peace and harmony without weapons.
Trial and error to know your personality continues.
Yeast Sannai Maruyama Yumekamos isolated from the Jomon strata
" I want to make delicious food full of Jomon dreams"
Craftsmen's skillful dream shaped like and was commercialized at last.
And while eating and drinking these, in a conversation with a loved one
"So that a new dream may well up"
The microorganism which also included such wish and awoke from the Jomon period.
YUMEKAMOSU= dream is caused.
I decided to name.
With such a wish, this yeast
Sannai Maruyama Yumekamos
I named it.
What's the next Yumekamos?
In 2021, in addition to collecting from the Sannai Maruyama Site again.
Soil was also collected from the Korekawa Site in Hachinohe City and the Kamegaoka Burial Site in Tsugaru City.
Then, from the Korekawa Site, yeast that produces oil and fat was found.
Yeast that has the potential to improve soil has been found from the Kamegaoka Burial Site.
In the fall of 2023, Sannai Maruyama Yumecamos will continue to conduct research on non-food applications.
The dream of Jomon will continue to grow.
