It is then washed and steeped to remove all traces of Iodine. the Sake is then steamed and Koji and enzyme is added. You need to always check the source of Koji, it can sometimes be derived from barley. It takes 2 - 9 months to brew Sake. Always check with the manufacturer, true traditional sake contains no gluten, but some companies trying to make a cheaper sake add, rice syrup, and other flavorings that could contain gluten.
