Sake from Moto: the Mash Built Up in Three Additions, Soye, Naka and Shimai, Pressed and Settled (Itami, after Rein 1889)
The brewers of Itami never put all the rice in at once. They fed the moto in three steps, roughly doubling the mash each time, so the yeast always stayed ahead of the sugar the koji made. Then they pressed the mash in a beam press and let the sake settle clear.
Result: sake of 11 to 14 % alcohol.

In a three-foot tub mix 1.30 koku steamed rice, 1.30 koku moto, 0.35 koku koji and 1.30 koku water (4.25 koku). Stir thoroughly every two hours for two or three days; it warms to about 20 C and smells pleasant and pungent. Ours: steam the rice over a pot.

After three days pour all four tubs into one big six-foot tub. A brisk fermentation follows and eases in two or three days; the scum settles and the liquor is strongly alcoholic.
