A Japanese sake maker is going where no sake maker has gone before: space.Asahi Shuzo, the company behind the popular Japanese sake brand Dassai, plans to blast sake ingredients to the International Space Station (ISS) to ferment a very special brew.Related video above: The dark energy pushing our universe apart may not be what it seems, scientists sayIf it works, just one 100ml bottle will be offered for sale on Earth at 100 million yen, or about $653,000. A standard serve is 80ml, making it one very expensive drink.맥스카지노�There is no guarantee of 100% success for the fermentation tests,맥스카지노� said Souya Uetsuki, the brewer in charge of the project at Asahi Shuzo.He said the difference in gravity could affect how heat transfers in fluid, causing a different fermentation process in space than on Earth.The company has paid the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for access to the Kibo experiment module, part of the ISS developed by Japan, where tests can be conducted in a 맥스카지노�special microgravity environment.맥스카지노�The national space agency said they would not comment on the privately paid project.Sake on the moon?Sake is made of Japanese rice, water, yeast and koji (a type of mold).

This project aims to create sake that can be enjoyed on the moon, allowing visitors to have delightful moments there,맥스카지노� he said.He hopes the technology will also benefit future space tourists who have a penchant for other types of fermented food.맥스카지노�Many Japanese foods, such as natto and miso, are fermented, and this technology could expand into these areas,맥스카지노� Uetsuki said.The company is developing space brewing equipment, with a planned launch date later in 2025.
