I cooked a shit ton of yellow Zatarain's rice today, and I know I'm not going to eat it all.

I don't want to throw it away and I don't want to share it with anybody else, so I'm thinking about trying to turn it into homemade sake.

I have no experience making alcohol and no special equipment for the task.

How do I go about this task?

Why the fuck would you want to turn seasoned rice into sake.

Sake is fucking awful anyway. It's second only to tequila in terms of shit I never want to drink straight again. Honestly, I want to see if this turns out to be something hilarious, so throw it into a big glass jar with some yeast and warm water I guess, stopper the son of a bitch and let me know what happens.

Rice will rot in my fridge. I cooked too much. Sake, I can sell, and maybe even start a moonshining (except sake, instead of corn whiskey) business.

No one in their right mind is going to buy bootleg sake. And if you give it to someone you're risking prison time, depending on what happens.

That being said, science is fun.
 
???? The fuck are you doing?

I don't know about this, but I'd use Koji Mold... which is something I'd import with an overnight delivery fee.

Even then, I'd look into something about how to make it. I'm no expert.

They CLAIMED to be a Japanese restaurant, to be fair, so if they're holding out on giving customers sake that doesn't taste like warm gasoline they're only shooting themselves in the foot.

Not sure if trolling. If you're not, just freeze it in portion sized batches. When you want to eat it, throw it in the microwave with a wet paper towel over it. It'll help steam it so the rice won't be dry.

Whether I attempt this will depend on how intensive the process is. I'm not going to bother with it if I have to baby-sit a jar every day for months on end.

Oh, and your suggestion makes way more sense than what I was going to do.

Unless your fridge is powered by hamsters or if you leave it in there for like a month, your rice isn't going to rot.

Furthermore, if you're going to make sake, you have to use polished rice. If it's cooked, all you're going to end up with is... I dunno... Zesty Cajun juice.

Not gonna lie, warming up sake has long been done to treat overdue sake or mask lower quality sake. Even then, legit establishments have real sake but come at about 4-6 dollars a cup with bottles in at about 15-30 dollars for something decent; the higher the price the better, and that's just at a restaurant. I drink the warm gasoline myself though, that's just me.

Then again, sake really is an acquired taste. Even the best stuff can't turn heads to someone without preference to it. I'd stick to good ol' beer and spirits then.

I chased it/rinsed it out of my mouth with Sapporo, which isn't the worst beer I've had to be sure.
 
I had a tupperwear thing of this that failed to gel.

It got pushed to the back of the fridge and forgotten for a few months. When I pulled it out, it had turned into prison wine. I wasn't brave enough to taste the secret of the booze.
