Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Koji amazake is a thick, sweet rice drink with no alcohol. Cooked rice, rice koji and water are held at 50–60 °C overnight while the koji's enzymes turn the rice starch into glucose. No yeast works in it, so no alcohol forms. Made in 4 steps over 19 h. The longest step, hold warm while the starch turns to sugar, takes 18 h (MAFF 2023) and runs at 50–60 °C (Kurahashi A. 2021). Aspergillus oryzae does most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different
Amazake uses koji's enzymes but no live fermentation; sake adds yeast to the same rice and koji and turns the sugar into alcohol. Korean sikhye sweetens rice the same way with barley malt instead of koji.

Safety
Keep the mash at 50–60 °C. Food-poisoning bacteria such as Salmonella and Staphylococcus do not grow in that range and die above 55 °C, but they can grow near 40 °C, and past amazake poisoning was mainly staphylococcal. Keep amazake cold after it is made or opened.
Hazards the sources name: Staphylococci and Salmonella (grow near 40 °C; past amazake poisoning was mainly staphylococcal).
The Nihon Shoki of 720 mentions a sweet rice drink close to amazake. By the middle of the Edo period it was made as it is today and sold by street sellers, drunk to beat the summer heat.
