Not sure where to buy it but about 15 Japanese companies sell organic sake and one is Yuki no Bosha, which a Google search should bring up. It is in Akita Prefecture, Japan. They do export it to the US. Another is Dewatsuru. And recently it is being produced by SakeOne in Oregon,...
“I’m looking for 32 percent, exactly. It’s rice for koji, so I take it just a bit higher. And it’s Yamada Nishiki at 60 percent, so it absorbs fast, but not nearly as fast as if it were milled to 50% or more,” he explained. ...
由最初出於好奇,肥丁把烘焙蛋糕麵包的熱情靠邊放,開始迷戀上發酵食品,和發酵調味料打起交道來。開門七件事,柴米油鹽醬醋茶,肥丁自己包辦了「醬」和「醋」兩項,增添鮮味和鹹味如醬油、日本味增、腐乳、鹽麴、蘋果醋,甜味調料的如麥芽糖或米飴,都實驗成功;家裡一半的調味料開始換成自己做的,大大小小玻璃瓶放滿了...
