Why is Daishichi so committed to kimoto brewing?

What is the reason why Daishichi insists on using kimoto brewing when making sake?

The process of making sake making the starter yeast , which is made by adding koji, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria to steamed rice and water, and cultivating the yeast to become the source of fermentation for sake.

The yeast starter is the base of the moromi, the prototype of sake . Along with yeast, lactic acid bacteria play an important role in the starter, killing off unwanted bacteria that are not necessary for sake. A yeast starter made with natural lactic acid bacteria is "kimoto ," while a yeast starter made with artificial lactic acid bacteria is called "sokujomoto."

There are three benefits to brewing with kimoto yeast

• Long-lasting fragrance
• Less deterioration in quality over time
• It has few unpleasant flavors and is easy to warm up

Daishichi describes its commitment to kimoto brewing as a commitment to the "best," and it can be said that they continue to produce sake with a taste that is worthy of that
