Fermentage Suifu Koji Wasabi and Yuzu 5% 37.5 cl

ABV: 5.0%

The result of a collaboration between Fermentage, where brewmaster Jorge Tomé continues to surprise, and Kin Ferments, led by chef João Alves, a master in the art of koji, this unique project was born to explore the richness of rice fermentation. The batch was divided into four very distinct interpretations; the Suifu Wasabi and Yuzu is a version with equal parts Koji rice and Pilsner malt. It is a Saison in which the spice and freshness of the wasabi enhance the citrus profile of the Yuzu.

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, source of soy sauce, miso, and many other delicacies – 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 along with pilsner malt to highlight the rice fermentation process. 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 – infused with sencha green tea and cherry blossoms. Known as Sakura in Japan.

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

Suifu – the heat and freshness of wasabi enhance 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.
