Japan\u2019s air, rain and volcanic soil is ideally suited to creating water that is full of the minerals that lend themselves to brewing <em>sake<\/em>. <em>Saka-mai<\/em> is a short-grain, large-kernel rice that is specially cultivated and harvested for <em>sake<\/em>. This rice is heavily polished, sometimes to less than half of its original kernel size, in order to produce a <em>sake<\/em> that is not contaminated with the proteins from the rice bran. The <em>saka-mai<\/em> is steamed and sprinkled with <em>koji<\/em>. These three ingredients are mixed with water, more steamed rice and yeast, and the resulting mash is stored in tanks, where it undergoes a process called \u201cmultiple parallel fermentation\u201d, which is unique to <em>sake<\/em>. During fermentation, the carbohydrates in the rice are converted into sugar and alcohol at the same time as the yeast produces carbon dioxide, and low heat is added to pasteurize the mixture. Once the mixture is ready, it is poured into bags, the liquid pressed out, filtered and bottled. Nowhere else in the world has a traditional fermented beverage been developed that attains such a high level of alcohol content.
