Sake Yeast - WLP 705

Producing authentic Japanese sake is in many ways akin to making beer as it employs some of the processes that are more similar to beer brewing rather than winemaking. But at the same time, the entire production process is so unique and employs so many special steps that it is definitely in a category of its own.

Naturally, such a unique drink requires a special type of yeast.

WLP705 Sake Yeast is a special strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that was meticulously selected for rice-based fermentations, which are quite different in character from both wine and beer fermentations.
