About
Shubo-zukuri (yeast starter preparation) is an important process that determines quality in sake brewing. For yamahai shubo, the yeast is nurtured naturally over more than twice the period required for a sokujo shubo (quick-method yeast starter), gradually increasing acids and amino acids to produce a rich flavor. Sake brewed with this yamahai shubo, Azumaryu Hizo, has fermentation acidity that becomes a harmonious umami. It offers a rich yet refreshing taste and a firm core that never tires the palate.
