Summary
Nama-age manufacturers press fermented moromi in the soy sauce manufacturing process to extract nama-age (unheated raw soy sauce).
Description
Nama-age manufacturers handle the process of pressing moromi made from raw materials like soybeans and wheat using specialized presses, filtering the obtained nama-age, and pasteurizing it with heat. They operate manufacturing lines, monitor equipment, manage temperature and pressure, conduct quality inspections through product sampling, and maintain strict hygiene management to produce safe and stable nama-age. The job involves standing work and handling heavy objects in a factory setting, requiring teamwork.
