It is characterized by larger and softer grains, which are processed with a careful polishing process of 60-70%, ensuring great expressive finesse and excellent water absorption during the shinseki phase. To water and rice, only two other ingredients are added: the yeasts of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, capable of working at low temperatures, and koji (Aspergillus oryzae), a fungus that promotes the transformation of starch into sugar for fermentation.
