The mold [in yeast/mold balls] saccrifies the rice- takes the rice starch and converts it to sugar to make it sweet, and the yeast ferments the sugar and turns it to alcohol. If you only do it for a couple of days, the mold makes this sweet rice drink that is super rice-y and super awesome. -- Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues
