I had a chat to the missus (she is Japanese) and it looks like we may be able to buy kome-koji from a distributor. I'll check it out and let you know.
I remember a mate of mine making sake years ago using the open bin method and he didn't have kome-koji or anything. I m ight have to call him and find out what he did.

Just curious if anyone here had tried making Sake? If so, how did it turn out? Debating whether it is worth trying after I ferment my next brew.

To dispel what rwh posted above about it probably being a flavouring kit for vodka, it's not. You can't make sake that way because sake is only brewed beverage and is not a distilled spirit. It is about the same alcohol as wine. However there is a clear Japanese distilled spirit similar to vodka called Shochu (also Shouchuu or Shochuu),
