It is typically distilled from rice\, barley\, sweet potatoes\, buckwheat\, or brown sugar\, though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as chestnut\, sesame seeds\, potatoes\, or even carrots. \nWhat is Koji? \nKoji is the national mold of Japan. Without it there wouldn’t be soy sauce\, miso\, mirin\, sake\, shochu\, or awamori as we know them. It’s a critical ingredient in Japanese fermentation traditions. Originally introduced to Japan as part of the Chinese yeast balls\, or jiuqu\, koji was isolated by Buddhist monks for sake production as early as the 700s CE and possibly earlier. \nKoji is a mold that grows in hot\, humid environments\, as do most molds\, but this is a productive mold. During its fermentation process it releases generous amounts of two key enzymes: amylase and protease. Amylase saccharifies starches\, such as rice or barley\, and protease breaks down proteins to create amino acids (umami). When used to make beverage alcohol\, the amylase replaces malting as would be used in beer or whisky production. \nWhat is Baijiu? \nBaijiu is a crystal-clear alcoholic spirit that is typically distilled from a base of water\, sorghum (a flowering plant) and grains such as wheat or barley\, rice\, glutinous rice\, or other grains. Its history as a cultural and culinary pillar in China is long and deep-rooted\, dating back thousands of years to when alcohol was consumed not only for pleasure\, but for medicinal or religious purposes. \nBaijiu is very strong – typically 40 – 60% alcohol – and yet it offers a complexity of fruit\, citrus\, floral and umami flavours.
