Sake is a rice wine native to Japan. The first bottle of sake was probably made when a farmer chewed steamed rice and spit it into a bucket allowing the enzymes in their mouth to break down the long chain starch molecules into glucose (sugar). The airborne yeasts attacked the sugars and turned them into alcohol. If you want to learn more about how it is made, please explore the Learn portion of our web site.

What is the Koji? What is the Sake yeast?
Koji, an enzyme, is added to the cooked rice to make "Koji Rice". The Koji, converts the starch in the rice into glucose. When yeast is added, the yeast "eats" the glucose and produces alcohol. Sake is unique among fermented beverages, in that the two fermentation agents work together to naturally ferment sake to 20% alcohol. For most sakes, water is then added to dilute the alcohol content to 15%.

No art for art's sake?
I love art for art's sake, but I'm not necessarily just a writer for writing's sake, though I do really appreciate the craft, and the art, and the medium, and the discipline. But ask me who are the best contemporary writers and I will say without blinking an eye, that you have to put Baseball Prospectus at the top of the list.
