How to make Amazake
  1. In a medium sauce pan, cook rice and with 1/5 cup of water over medium heat for about 30 minutes until the rice grains turn to porridge.

  3. Transfer the koji mixture to a thermos that can keep the 140 F temp for 8 hours (I use a Zohjirushi thermos https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DZ0HAC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
  4. Close the thermos and wait for 8 hours.
