Hiochi is a lactic acid bacteria responsible for hiochi-kin, making the infected sake becomes cloudy, and this is usually accompanied by an increase in acidity and a characteristically unpleasant smell (“hi-ochi stink”), making the sake undrinkable. A phenom caused by the absence of pasteurisation during manufacturing and improper storage. Essentially, it's a menace to sake!
