PURPOSE: To simplify pipes, controlling means, etc., for raw materials and saccharified unrefined edible vinegar and rationalize a process by providing a construction for arranging plural saccharifying tanks in series, receiving the raw materials into the first tank, successively moving the raw materials in a constant amount to the succeeding tanks and making the contents stay in the respective tanks for a prescribed time.
CONSTITUTION: A main raw material 131 is saccharified. In the process, plural saccharifying tanks (e.g. 101 to 106) are arranged in series. After receiving the main raw material 131 and secondary raw materials 111 and 112 to 117 into the first tank 101, the tank contents are successively moved to the succeeding tanks in a constant amount. In the respective tanks, the contents are made to stay for a prescribed time and the saccharified unrefined edible vinegar is collected from the tank 106 at the tail end while keeping the saccharification degree constant.
