Jay’s note

Sake-kasu (lees) is left after the sake has been pressed out. In Japan sake-kasu is popular ingredients to used in home cooking. Such as soups, marinate fish during the winter sake brewing season. My favorite way is kasu-jiru (sake-kasu stew). It is similar to miso soup, but usually add salmon and winter vegetables. And season with sake-kasu and white miso.
