Raku, so and daigo (ancient Japanese dairy, Heian period)酪
Raku, so and daigo are the dairy foods of the Nara and Heian court, known only from old texts and modern reconstructions. Raku was a sour milk, so was milk boiled down to about a tenth, and daigo was the oily liquid that sweats out of butter oil; it is also the finest of the Buddhist five flavours, thought to be like cheese or butter oil. This is a boundary entry; raku is the ferment here.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe so amounts are the Engishiki's tribute rule of 1 to of milk for 1 shō of so; the raku starter ratio is the Qimin Yaoshu's. Daigo is given only as a yield from so.

The Qimin Yaoshu method heats the milk on a gentle fire, brings it to the boil four or five times, skims off the skin (kept to make su, the butter-like product), and strains the milk through a raw-silk bag into a pottery jar. Output: strained hot milk in a jar.

Raku, so and daigo are the dairy foods of the Nara and Heian court, known only from old texts and modern reconstructions. Raku was a sour milk, so was milk boiled down to about a tenth, and daigo was the oily liquid that sweats out of butter oil; it is also the finest of the Buddhist five flavours, thought to be like cheese or butter oil. This is a boundary entry; raku is the ferment here. Made in 5 steps over 7 h – 8 h. The longest step, so (蘇), milk boiled down, takes 7–8 h (MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture).
Raku is the fermented milk. So is milk boiled down to about a tenth, sometimes called an ancient cheese, and daigo is the best of the five flavours of the Nirvana Sutra.
Boundary
Raku is the fermented milk here; so is a concentrated milk and daigo is butter oil
Vedic dadhi (ancient India)Raw milk left 36 h at 30 °C separated and smelled putrid; with a lactic starter, 12 h at 30 °C gave an even curd at pH 4.8, so dadhi was judged an intended sour milk.
Roku-raku (漉酪)Rich lao is hung in a raw-cloth bag until it stops dripping, briefly fried and sun-dried into pear-sized balls (Qimin Yaoshu). Hirata and colleagues (2010) identified it as unmatured cheese like Mongolian khoroot and Turkic kurut.
Safety
In the Qimin Yaoshu method, the milk for raku is boiled four or five times before the earlier raku is added.
The Engishiki (927) sets the so tribute rule of boiling 1 to of milk to 1 shō of so. The Honzō Wamyō (918) and Ishinpō (984) mix up the characters for su and so. Milk drinking began in Japan under Emperor Kotoku (645–654), when immigrants presented milk. So first appears in the Engishiki and the Seiji Yoryaku, which describe the tribute system under which each region made so for the court. It was a luxury only nobles and officials ate, used as an offering at the palace Buddhist rite at New Year. It was reproduced at the Asuka Historical Museum in 1987 and later sold commercially (MAFF). The Nirvana Sutra names milk, raku, raw su, ripe su and daigo as the five flavours, and the best taste, daigo, was twice the name of an emperor (ALIC). In 2010 Hirata and colleagues reproduced the Seiminyoujyutu recipes and identified raku as sour milk (abstract).
