Now, let’s dive into the steps of making Sato.
Harvesting the Rice: Our journey begins in the lush fields of Northeast Thailand, where local farmers tend to the rice with a deep understanding of the land and a passion for their craft. Each grain is harvested by hand, ensuring only the highest quality rice is selected for our Sato.
Preparing the Rice: The harvested rice is then meticulously cleaned and soaked. This crucial step prepares the rice for the fermentation process, allowing it to absorb the necessary moisture.
Steaming the Rice: The soaked rice is gently steamed, a process that softens the grains and makes them ready for the introduction of the yeast balls.
Adding the Yeast Balls: The steamed rice is then mixed with yeast balls, which are made from rice flour and a special type of mold. These yeast balls play a crucial role in converting the starches in the rice into alcohol.
Fermentation: The mixture is left to ferment in a traditional earthenware jar. This is where the magic happens, as the yeast works to slowly transform the rice into Sato. The fermentation process is carefully monitored to ensure the perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol content.
Straining and Bottling: After the fermentation process is complete, the Sato is strained to remove any remaining solids, and then bottled. Each bottle is a labor of love, a product of the hard work and dedication of our local community.
Tasting: Finally, the moment of truth - the tasting. Our Sato is a celebration of our community and our traditions, a taste of Northeast Thailand in every sip.
