HOW SAKE IS MADE
1.Rice Polishing (Seimai)
The outer layers of rice are polished away to reveal the starchy core, crucial for premium sake.
2.Washing and Steaming
The polished rice is washed, soaked, and steamed to prepare it for fermentation.
4.Fermentation and Pressing
The mash ferments over weeks, then is pressed to separate the sake from solids, creating a clear, aromatic drink.
3.Koji and Yeast Starter
Koji mold is added to steamed rice, followed by yeast to create a mash called “moromi.”
