Based firmly on the actual methods used by Japanese brewers, Brewing Sake details each step in the brewing process and how you can implement them. But it does not stop there; rather it explains the underlying processes that are driven by the micro-biology of the yeast and bacteria that drive the brewing process as well as the chemistry embodied by the ingredients. Brewing Sake walks you through a step by step method that will give you the best chance of a successful first brew. By the time you have finished reading this book, you will have a full command and understanding of sake brewing, each of the steps involved and the ingredients used.
