About
Ordinary sake is pasteurized (heat-sterilized) twice in total: once before storage and once before bottling. Namachozo sake skips one of these steps. The new sake is stored at low temperature without pasteurization, and it is pasteurized only when it is bottled. As a result, its flavor differs from both namazake and ordinary sake, and it has a devoted following.
