Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 8 hours, then drain.

Prepare the Rice

Steam the soaked rice in a bamboo or metal steamer for about 30-40 minutes until fully cooked and tender.

Steam the Rice

Spread the cooked rice on a clean surface and sprinkle the koji evenly over it. Mix gently and allow it to sit for 24 hours in a warm environment (around 30°C or 86°F) to allow fermentation.

Prepare Koji

In a large fermentation vessel, combine the koji rice, water, yeast, and lactic acid. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Mix Ingredients

Cover the vessel with a cloth and let it ferment for 2-3 weeks at a stable temperature of about 15-20°C (59-68°F). Stir the mixture once a day to ensure even fermentation.

Fermentation

After fermentation, press the mixture through a fine mesh cloth to separate the liquid (sake) from the solids (sake kasu).

Press the Sake

Heat the pressed sake to about 60°C (140°F) for about 30 minutes to pasteurize and kill any unwanted bacteria.

Pasteurize the Sake

Let the sake cool down, then transfer it to clean bottles. Seal the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place.
