Japan is safe and secure if you twist the faucet. However, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's materials (2021, the current status of water resources in Japan), there are about 12 countries in the world where tap water can be taken. There are many areas where water supply equipment is not popular.
Nobudai Crystal®, a high -quality and high -performance crystal material created by Shinshu University (Nobudai) after many years of research, attracts attention as a solution to the water problem in the world. With this functional crystal, it may be possible to remove harmful substances in the water and change the water from all over the world to a delicious water where you can drink with confidence. Nobudai Crystal®, which demonstrates such high water purification capabilities, won the grand prize of the Shinshu brand award “Shizunobu Shinshu” category in the 2023.
▲ Professor Teshima explains the “Shinodai Crystal®”, a single crystal that removes heavy metal ions from water.
▲ Gem and minerals are also crystallized in nature in nature. The photo is an artificially created crystal of the six -six cone.
Katsuya Tegushima, Professor of the University of the university, has played the center of the research. Prof. Teshima's specialty in 2005 is crystalline chemistry. Crystals are the solids of substances whose atoms and molecules are regularly lined up, and have the property of maximizing the characteristics of the substance. Taking advantage of its characteristics, single crystal materials such as silicon and crystals are already widely used.
▲ Heavy metal ion removal material is a crystal material for powder. Quickly remove heavy metal ions dissolved in the water even in small amounts.
▲ Approximately 30 staff members are studying every day in the lab.
Professor Teshima has made a number of high -purity artificial crystals using the technique of "flux method". The principle of this "flux method" is very simple. The saturated aqueous solution with salt is cooled and the material is heated and dissolved in a solvent (flux), and the substances are crystallized to remove the salted crystals.
The mechanism is clear, but what is important is how to create a crystal at what solvent or temperature, that is, a recipe. Professor Teshima develops a variety of recipes and determines and removes specific substances such as unnecessary metal ions and harmful molecules contained in the water, and generates a single crystal that has a function according to the purpose. Successful construction and led the world. More than 300 functions of functional inorganic crystal materials generated by this technology. The general term is "Nobudai Crystal®".
▲ The water purification plant of "Nobudai Crystal®", which was installed in Tanzania with the cooperation of local people, (from the Shinobu Crystal® Official X).
Taking advantage of the functions to remove this specific substance, crystal materials from Shinshu are now over the borders to African Tanzania. As a demonstration experiment, overdose intake is purified local groundwater, which contains harmful fluorine at a high concentration. It is a water purification plant that does not require energy such as electricity and pumps, and for heavy metal ion removal materials, about 100 kg of "Nobudai Crystal®" is expected to be 20 years. In addition, purification water is used not only for drinking but also for drinking water and agricultural water in livestock, which greatly contributes to improving life.
"Utilizing the functions of this" Shinodai Crystal® ", it can be used for industrial water, drainage and waste water treatment according to the environment and conditions in the future, as well as water purification treatment in disaster areas and depopulated areas. You will be able to contribute, "says Teshima.
▲ Aqua spot "SWEE" equipped with "Nobudai Crystal®". After removing heavy metal ions, it can be supplied for a bottle that brings delicious water purification, leaving the mineral content that is the unique water of water.
▲ Prior to "SWEE", NATIO "Natio" was launched in 2018. Eco and easy to carry.
And, of course, in Shinshu, Shinshu Crystal® is expanding. One of the water supply machines "SWEE" dedicated to my bottle is one of them. A water supply device that uses heavy metal ion removal materials and activated carbon to remove chlorine in a water purification filter. Only specific heavy metal ions that can blend into tap water from aging pipes are selected and highly efficient. You can supply water. Maintenance is only for filter replacement about once a year. It is also characterized by its low cost and easy installation, and has been introduced not only at the university premises, but also at JR Matsumoto Station and Matsumoto Airport.
▲ There is also an introduction corner of "Nobudai Crystal®" and "NATIO" on the university premises.
"It's important not only to purify water, but also to be delicious. Even if it is for the environment, if it is convenient and delicious, it will not be able to continue or recommend it to people. Yane, Professor Teshima. As a result, the introduction of water purifiers using "Nobudai Crystal®" is now progressing to restaurants, etc., but Professor Teshima's challenge is further expanded.
"There are a wide variety of fields where crystalline materials live, and we can deploy in all areas of next -generation. We believe that a recycling -type city based on hydrogen energy derived from water can be realized, and Shinshu is rich in water resources. I want to approach the "Metropolitan"

New possibilities created from the co -creation of Shinobu Crystal® x long -established sake brewery
Nobudai Crystal® is a high -quality and high -performance crystal material that attracts attention as a solution to the global water problem. The excellent point is that you can arrange functions according to your purpose. For example, the aqua spot "SWEE" equipped with "Nobudai Crystal®" removes only the substances to be removed so that it can remove heavy metal ions and leave the minerals of water. You can leave the substances you want to keep.

In addition, since it is not filtered filter, it is possible to purify in a very short time with only water pressure in the tap. Therefore, the installation is not limited to the faucet, but can be customized according to various equipment. Food manufacturers and restaurants inside and outside the prefecture, knowing this advantage, are starting to introduce water purifiers for "Nobudai Crystal®" one after another.
▲ "Maruye Sake Brewery" founded in 1870. The unique manufacturing method that uses glutinous rice is the only prefecture in the prefecture.
▲ Originally, after working in Tokyo, Mr. Seki returned to the local area after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.
The first one was the Nakano City, a long -established sake brewery in Nakano City, which has been producing a famous sake "Syosho -sect" by "Mochi -Rice Entrance Four -Dan" since the Meiji era. The young fifth -generation head, Shinji Seki, also participates in the 59 Brewery, a sake brewery site of the same generation, while protecting the traditional manufacturing method. I worked hard with my friends and worked on a number of sharp sake brewing.
▲ Mr. Seki says that it is necessary to increase the quality and differentiate it with new initiatives that are not done elsewhere because it is a small family -run sake brewery.
Under such circumstances, "Nobudai Crystal®" was encountered in 2020. Attracted by high functionality and technology, a water purifier was installed in one corner of the brewery. At that time, the sales of sake were severe nationwide due to the corona evil, and there was a sense of crisis that if you did something new, you would be eliminated, but the main reason for the immediate disconnection was the sake. It was a focus on the ingredients of water, which accounted for about 80 % of the raw materials.
▲ In the past, it was an electric water purifier, but now it is possible to purify water with water pressure.
"Our brewery is used for water supply and well water in the area, including the underground water of Shiga Kogen, but when passing through piping, it contains ingredients such as iron and manganese that have a bad effect on brewing brewing. Therefore, I used the water purifier of the ionic resin, but the minerals necessary for the yeast were actually removed. I want to make use of the goodness of the local water, but I have a local water.
In particular, in recent years, demand overseas has grown, and there are many purchasers who value regional characteristics, so they are often asked about water components. It seems that the underground water of Shiga Kogen, including the thawed water, is considered to have a good mineral, so he felt that there was no way to make good use of it. "Nobudai Crystal®" may solve such issues. That thought drove to the first introduction of the food industry.
▲ The preparation of the Shinobu Crystal® Water and the useful lactic acid bacteria developed in Nakano City, and the Koshihikari Faculty of Agriculture and Koshihikari and the mochi rice brewed in rice, the Junmei -yu -ki (left), "Nobuadai Senka" (right) using rare materials such as Ina's natural grown rice and white hair glutinous rice.
With the "Nobudai Crystal®" installed in this way, minerals are now left in the prepared water. Seki says that the healthy fermentation of yeast was promoted, and he realized that it had a clear taste without any savory taste. It has been well received by many regular customers, and has been selling well.
"With" Nobudai Crystal® ", we were able to clear the significance of making sake in this area, which can make use of the characteristics of local water."
▲ “Mochi -American Entrance Four Dan preparation” is an unusual method that only has a collection of warehouses that can be counted all over the country. The photo shows the sake rice prepared for the next day.
In addition, in terms of manufacturing, the mainstream is "three -stage preparation", which is divided into three times while watching the yeast, and is fermented slowly. We perform "Mochi -rice enthusiasm four -stage preparation" that adds steamed glutinous rice to the fourth stage. The temperature of the glutinous rice that remains hot at the end of the stable yeast, the temperature changed rapidly, and there was a risk of lack of yeast stability. He says that yeast is fermented healthy, so the yeast activity has been stable even in four -stage preparation, and the stress of brewing has also been reduced.
It is a sake brewery that the local people can recognize that it is necessary in the future for the future. In case of things, if the sake brewery that handles a large amount of water has the facilities of "Nobudai Crystal®", it would be useful for the community. He says that such thoughts are one of the reasons why we decided to introduce them.
Nobudai Crystal® has begun to innovate in the region and the world by co -creation with various businesses.
