About the beer

A project resulting from a partnership between Kin Ferments – a project dedicated to the world of koji, born from the mind and hands of chef João Alves, from which soy sauce, miso, and many other delicacies originate – and Fermentage – where the mind of Master Brewer Jorge Tomé never ceases to surprise.

Using rice transformed by *Aspergillus oryzae* fungi, a mash was created together with pilsner malt to highlight the rice fermentation process. A neutral fermentation was used to allow the grains to convey their aromatics.

The batch was divided into 4 versions:

Kojo – a version with equal parts koji rice and pilsner. Low bitterness and complexity from the rice fermentation microorganisms.

Hanagumori – an infusion of sencha green tea and cherry blossoms. Known as Sakura in Japan.

Kofu – a blend of Thai spices inspired by Tom Kha Gai soup: coconut, kaffir lime, galangal, lemongrass, and chili.

Suifu – the heat and freshness of wasabi highlight the citrus profile of the Yuzu.

The idea is to explore aromatic variations, complementing the profile.

Each version has approximately 250 bottles of 37.5cl available.
