Shochu is Japan's most consumed beverage, yet only 2% is exported, and it's all produced from koji.

Host Dani Valent visits Reed & Co Distillery in Bright to interview founder Rachel Reed about her journey from chef to distiller, focusing on their koji-based shochu production and wood-fired restaurant Koji Bird. The conversation covers fermentation science, local ingredients, and the unique intersection of culinary and distilling techniques in Victoria's high country.
