Cuisine Japanese
Author Author Matcha and Tofu

Ingredients

  • 50 g Hoshino natural yeast leaven powder 1 pack
  • 100 g lukewarm water

Instructions

  • Put 50g of Hoshino natural yeast leaven powder in a clean jar. And pour 100g of lukewarm water, then mix until crumble.
  • Loosely cover the top with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature until smooth. In the summer, it takes about for 24 hours, but in winter, it takes 1 or 2 more days. 28°C (82°F) is the best temperature for the yeast, so please try to find a warm place, not hot place, to put the jar during cold season.
  • When it becomes smooth and you can find the small bubbles, it's ready to put in the fridge. Storage it in the fridge overnight to stabilize as a starter.
