Very adventurous.
To make sake, its little more complex as the yeast used is very different.
I've seen a type of organic ""sweet rice"" available at health shop which may be the ideal rice type. I think the rice mash would benefit from some dried corn syrup, honey and then bottled, E-Z cap + yeast.
I usually do a yeast starter first, ensuring that the yeast is robust and doing its job before I pitch in. (Yeast from E-Z Caps or harvested from commercially bottled beer).
Cheers.

Hey, just a couple questions about this new recipe im trying; Saki.
It's a very untraditional recipe that ive patched together from real
recipes that could not be utilized with ez caps. I cooked some rice
enough to mash it up, coursely.(definite grain structure intact but
broken) while cooking i added sugar, because... well it was a whim. i
smooshed it into the bottle and then added A little grape juice,
honey, a teaspoon of red wine vinigar for acidity(this could be a
mistake) Chopped raisins and then topped off the bottle to 90% with
water(bottled).Its in day 3 and has turned from a transparent purple
to an almost opaque tan.
I dont actually have any formal questions. i am more or less am
looking for insight, as to what you guys think will come out of the
bottle in a week, give or take? Ive been hoping for either saki or a
new
form of combustable fuel. in any case ill let everyone know how it
worked out!
