What is MiCURA ?
MiCURA is the world's first and only brand of sake home brewing kit that realized authentic sake home brewing easy and simple.
You can make 2ℓ of Junmai Ginjo Sake (60% rice polishing ratio) in about a month.
Authentic
・DIifferent from doburoku and bodaimoto/mizumoto, you can make authentic Junmai Ginjo Sake(60% rice polishing ratio) using special koji and rice for ginjo.
・Our Sake bag is made of the same material as those used for Fukuro-shibori of premium Sake and specially made in home brewing size.
・You can learn how to arrange your Sake in various ways, such as making it into a sparkling (e.g. active nigori sake), different methods of pressing, and with or without hi-ire (pasteurization).
Premium
MiCURA offers a choice of 2 types of rice for Koji(Yellow-koji): "Yamada-nishiki", which is often used for premium Sake and is called “the king of Sake rice”, And "Gohyaku-mangoku", a representative variety of light and dry sake.
*Kake-rice of all products and White-koji of NANA are 100% Japanese grown Rice.
Simple
・MiCURA is designed for authentic yet simple Sake home brewing. It removes the process of making shubo and instead uses a “kobo-jikomi" technique.
・The rice and koji are specially processed and can be used directly without steaming.
・The rice and koji are pre-measured, so all you have to do is open the bag and pour the contents into the container.
・The container* is the perfect size for MiCURA moromi that it will take up minimal space in your refrigerator.
・The mouth of our Sake bag perfectly fits to the container that one person can easily perform the pressing process.
*Containers are included in the complete set. One is for moromi and the other one is for shibori (pressing).
Exciting
・You can observe the fermentation process from all sides.
・It's so much fun watching moromi changes day by day.
・You can enjoy the tasting of moromi (Sake mash) and super fresh nama-zake straight from the tank, something only home-brewers can enjoy.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of sake brewing lies a microcosm of activity, a delicate balance where microorganisms such as yeast, koji, and others craft the unique profiles of alcohol, acidity, sweetness, umami, and aroma.
Sake brewing is about guiding these tiny craftsmen, providing environments that coax out their strengths and temper their excesses, all to fine-tune the flavor to our liking.
nside the tank, a whirlwind of activity ensues—saccharification, fermentation, flavor development—all intertwining to influence the final taste, which can change dramatically based on the subtlest actions at each stage.
The essence of Sake comes from its simple core ingredients: rice, water, and koji. Yet, the alchemy of sake brewing allows for an incredible variety of flavors, each batch a unique testament to the craft.
Brewing sake is like playing a musical instrument, which is fun in itself.
Sake breweries are akin to professional musicians, but musical instruments are not just for professionals.
Music is not only fun to listen to, it is also fun to play by yourself.
Savor the virtuosity of the sake maestro, but don’t hesitate to pick up the baton yourself. The beauty of sake is not just in the drinking but in the creation. Your personal batch is more than a drink; it's a narrative of your own crafting.
Embracing this philosophy, I’ve curated the MiCURA Sake Home Brewing Kit—your backstage pass to the art of sake.
