To provide a process for producing miso-like azuki-bean fermented material in which, by attempting shaping by grinding azuki-beans and swelling the ground product, the utilization efficiency of azuki-bean starch is enhanced, which is conventionally difficult to improve, and easily and conveniently, the azuki-bean starch can be fermented and brewed.SOLUTION: The process includes: a swelling step in which an azuki-bean raw material powder obtained by grinding azuki-bean is kneaded while heating in a twin screw extruder, and swollen at the time of discharge from the discharge part to obtain an azuki-bean swollen material； a charging step in which the azuki-bean swollen material is mixed with rice malt, salt and water and received in a container； and a step in which the charged raw material is fermented and brewed in the container to prepare a miso-like azuki-bean fermented material.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】小豆の粉砕とその粉砕物の膨化による賦形化を図ることにより、従来改善の困難であった小豆のデンプンの利用効率を高め、容易かつ簡便に小豆デンプンを発酵醸成することが可能な味噌様小豆発酵物の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】小豆を粉砕した小豆原料粉末を二軸エクストルーダー内にて加熱しながら混練して吐出部からの吐出時に膨化させて小豆膨化物を得る膨化工程と、前記小豆膨化物に麹、食塩及び水を混合して容器内に収容する仕込み工程と、前記仕込み原料を容器内で発酵・醸成して味噌様小豆発酵物を得る工程を有する。【選択図】図１
