About
Sake brewing has long been summed up in the saying "ichi-koji, ni-moto, san-tsukuri" (one koji, two moto, three brewing), which points to koji, the yeast starter (moto), and the brewing of the mash as the three essentials of making sake. Please enjoy the deep, rich flavor characteristic of junmai sake, drawn out by the koji.
