Hundred-Year-Old Barrels
Giraffe Press
The 6-meter zelkova branch is as long as a giraffe's neck, so we call it a giraffe press.
Unlike mechanical pressing, the yield is intentionally limited to 70% so that impurities do not come out, and it is not possible to press until oil comes out, so it is a luxurious traditional manufacturing method that finishes with good squeezing condition.
It is probably the only one that still exists in Japan. It is designated as a specific cultural property.
