Yama-oroshi is a key process in traditional Kimoto sake brewing, specifically the "yamaoroshi" part of the "yamahai" method. It involves manually grinding a mixture of steamed rice and koji (a mold) with a tool called a "kai" in shallow tubs called "hangiri". This process is repeated multiple times a day, and it's the most labor-intensive part of the kimoto starter-making process. | Yama-oroshi is a key process in traditional Kimoto sake brewing, specifically the "yamaoroshi" part of the "yamahai" method.

Overview
Donck Beers was created by Evert Schraepen, a former employee of the 3-star Michelin restaurant 't Zilte. His blends are created with culinary experiences in mind, often experimenting with Japanese elements such as Koji, Sakura blossoms, and Sake.
Koji
Koji is a mold (Aspergillus oryzae) commonly used in Japanese cuisine and fermentation processes. It is grown on grains, like rice, and breaks down starches into fermentable sugars.
Koji in Lambic: Using koji in lambic fermentation can add complexity and unique flavor profiles.
Flavor and Fermentation: Koji's enzymes can break down complex carbohydrates in the grain, creating a more fermentable wort. This, combined with the wild fermentation of lambic, can lead to a diverse range of flavors, such as apple, tropical fruit, and citrus.
Yamaoroshi method

It involves manually grinding a mixture of steamed rice and koji (a mold) with a tool called a "kai" in shallow tubs called "hangiri". This process is repeated multiple times a day, and it's the most labor-intensive part of the kimoto starter-making process. Donck uses that process for the making od several beers.
