Ingredients

Rice

Koji

Yeast Starter

Fermentation

Preparation

Preparation of Rice

1. Rinse the Rice

Thoroughly rinse the Japonica rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

2. Soak the Rice

Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the grains to absorb moisture.

3. Steam the Rice

Drain the soaked rice and steam it for about 30-40 minutes until it becomes tender and slightly sticky.

Preparation of Koji

4. Prepare Koji Rice

Spread the koji rice evenly on a tray, allowing it to cool completely after steaming.

Yeast Starter

5. Mix Yeast Starter

In a small bowl, combine 0.5 cups of water with 1 tsp of yeast, stirring until the yeast is dissolved. Let it activate for about 10 minutes.

Fermentation

6. Combine Ingredients

In a large fermentation container, combine the steamed rice, koji rice, activated yeast starter, and 3 cups of water. Stir well to mix.

7. Ferment

Cover the container with a cloth and let it ferment at room temperature for about 2 weeks, stirring daily.
