Mizumoto (literally “water starter”) is a process by which the rice is first soaked in water to promote lactic acid fermentation. This soaking water is then saved as the brewing water for the production alongside the koji, soaked rice and yeast. The fermentation time takes roughly 3 to 4 weeks before the mash is pressed and filtered, then rested in tanks for an additional 6 to 12 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eigashima Shuzo (Sake)","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 720ml","offer_id":48046425931881,"sku":"JP-EIG-01-NV","price":26.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/files\/junmai-sake-mizumoto-kamitaka-2-e1712694605375.jpg?v=1789237723","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/junmai-sake-mizumoto-kamitaka","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
