Solid State Cultivation (Koji Making)
FEDY is a koji making equipment recommended for producing koji for Ginjo sake with rice polishing ratio of 50-60%.
Based on the concept of the Futa-koji* method, FEDY achieves mass production of koji above a certain quality level for Ginjo sake by static even dehumidification and under-floor circulation control.
* Futa-koji: traditional koji making method using shallow wooden trays
◆What is Fermentation by static Equal even Dehumidification?
FEDY is a dehumidifiesr installed evenly by installing in the koji making room and dehumidifiers evenly in the koji making room and dehumidifying koji without airflow, thereby to achieve uniform dehumidification and realizes raw material temperature control centered on non-airflow dehumidification. In addition, by controlling the temperature and humidity of the under-lower floor space are always appropriately at all timescontrolled to, it minimizes planar unevenness in dehumidification on a flat surface and uneven quality between the top and bottom of koji up and down when the substrate is ventilated.
This makes it possible to mass-produce koji with a good enzyme balance suitable for Ginjo koji.
・Mass production of koji with good enzyme balance and high titer
・Control of koji quality by dehumidification control
・Uniform quality and high reproducibility
・Koji making for regular sake, Chuginjo sake, and Ginjo sake in a single machine
