How to Make Authentic Japanese Sake

You asked for it and here it is Authentic Japanese Sake. This week we are taking you through the extraordinary steps of making Sake. It's no simple process, there's lots of attention that needs to be paid to the temperature, the timing and each step, but the end result is very rewarding. This process requires the use of a very specific mod called koji. Koji is responsible for breaking down the carbohydrates in rice and converting them into sugars. This is how the alcohol is then made.

Check out the entire process with a printable recipe at: http://twoguysandacooler.com/making-traditional-japanese-sake/
