SAKE in General With a history of over 1,000 years, SAKE is very much a part of Japanese culture and tradition. As the national beverage of Japan, it is consumed by every class in society, and is enjoyed at various events. There are more than 1,500 breweries and almost every region has their own unique sakes. The way sake is produced today still follows the traditional methods.

4 Key Ingredients in Sake Making
Rice Sake uses only the core starch of the rice. There are many kinds of Sake rice such as YAMADA NISHIKI MIYAMA NISHIKI It has bigger & more dense Starch content.
Koji (Aspergillus Oryzae) The mold (or spore) that produces a variety of enzymes while growing on steamed rice. Converts the starch of rice into sugar
Yeast A fungi that turns sugar into alcohol. Sake brewing yeast is cousins to the yeast used to brew wine and beer, but are far more potent and can produce an alcohol level of twenty percent.
Water Hard Water →Dry, Crisp Sake (Rich in minerals and trigger
vigorous, quick fermentation) Soft Water → Soft, luscious sake
(Slower fermentation process)
Sake breweries are located in areas with excellent source of natural spring water.

* Adding distilled alcohol does not make a sake lower grade; it is part of one manner of brewing that produces specific results (like lighter, more fragrant sake with a more robust structure and longer shelf life).
**Until recently, at least 30% of the rice used for Junmai had to be polished. But the laws had changed, and Junmai no longer requires a specified polishing rate. Nevertheless, the amount milled away must, by law, be listed somewhere on the label.

BASIC STEPS USED TO MAKE SAKE
1) Rice Polishing (Depends on Grade)
2) Washing & Soaking
3) Steaming
4) KOJI (Planting & growing sake mold on rice)
5) Yeast
6) Fermenting
7) Filtering
8) Pasteurizing
9) Aging
10) Bottling
RICE + KOJI (MOLD)+ YEAST+ WATER= SAKE

Classification of SAKE SOKUJO-Method SHUBO VS KIMOTO-Method SHUBO SHUBO, literally means “mother of sake”, is a fermentation starter containing a high concentration of yeast that is created by combining steamed rice, rice koji, water and yeast. There are 2 categories of fermentation starters. 1) SOKUJO-Method (SOKUJO MOTO): 90% of sake brewed in Japan is produced using SOKUJO Style. Tends to create Clean and Elegant sake for SOKUJO-Method commercially available lactic acid is used that inhibits unwanted bacteria. 2) KIMOTO / YAMAHAI-Method: Tends to create a deeper and richer, even earthier sake. A flavor highly suited for warmed sake.

Other Types of Sake
Kimoto-Method
It is traditional, old fashioned brewing method, where nature is let to take its course. Brewers wait patiently as Lactobacillus (lactic acid bacteria) harbored in grow fight off unwanted bacteria. The yeast starter (rice and koji ) are mixed and crushed into a puree in order for them to work properly together and convert the starches to sugars. Involves the labor-intensive “yamaoroshi”, a manual mashing of rice with oar-like paddles, in order to speed up rice scarification. Require a longer time for the yeast to begin fermentation. No lactic acid or yeast added, but forms naturally in the barrow. All Natural Hand Crafted. Because Kimoto allows more wild yeasts and bacteria to become a part of the brew, the flavor tends to be higher sweetness and acidity, with richer, deeper, significantly more pronounced flavors.

How KIMOTO is prepared 1. In a open tank, combine rice and rice koji for shubo. 2. Add water. 3. Mix well using wooden paddle. 4. Transfer mixture into smaller vats to mash rice into a
paste. This labor-intensive rice-mixing is called “Yamaoroshi”.
5. Transfer mixtures to a tank. 6. Mix well. 7. Adjust optimum temperature. 8. Add yeast. 9. Again adjust optimum temperature. 10. Transfer mixture to an open cedar barrel for the yeast
to rest. Transfer back to tank to age.

Yahamai-Method
Introduced in the early 1900’s, is a short name for yamaoroshi-haishi-moto or “discontinuation of yamaoroshi process”. It is basically same as KIMOTO-Method but without the laborious “Yamaoroshi Step”. A manual mashing of rice with oar-like paddles, in order to speed up rice scarification. Yamahai

Nigori Sake
“Unfiltered SAKE. (Actually Roughly Filtered SAKE) Nigori = Cloudy Sake with some rice solids and lees left behind from fermentation, creating a cloudy liquid. Usually Sweeter than regular Sake. Great with Spicy Food.

Flavor of Sake TEMPERATURE Sake is a beverage that can be served at various of temperatures (41-131゜F) Sake tastes differently at varying temperatures. Chilled Sake Enhances briskness and crispness of sake. >> Daiginjo, Ginjo, Nama (Fragrant, light and smooth Sake) Warm Sake Enhances aroma and flavor of sake, as amino acids and lactic acids contained in sake open up when heated. Heating can induce a flavor that is mellow and comforting, or on the other hands, can emphasize sharp edge of the alcohol to yield a drier finish. >> Junmai, Kimoto, Yamahai (Full body sake with subtle aroma)
