Air shooter (Eashuta)

An air shooter (eashuta) is a device that uses air pressure from a blower to transport raw materials such as steamed rice and koji. It is used to improve work efficiency and plays a particular role in moving ingredients smoothly during the brewing process. Using an air shooter reduces the effort of moving materials by hand and can improve the working environment in the brewery. Because it allows ingredients to be handled cleanly, it also helps maintain quality. This makes it possible to produce higher-quality sake in the sake-making process.
