About
Sake brewed by the sokujo method (quick-brewing starter method) does not encourage lactic acid fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, unlike yamahai or mizumoto (mizumoto (水酛)) sake, so its acidity and umami come through directly. It is also a brewing method in which the influence of the yeast's own acidity and aroma is clearly expressed. By controlling the fermentation temperature with thermal tanks, this sake has a light, easy-drinking character that is approachable. Namazake (unpasteurized) This sake is not pasteurized and is bottled unfiltered as Nama Genshu. Depending on the timing of bottling, some sediment may be present. It is stored at low temperature in a refrigerator, so the maturation of its flavor also progresses slowly. Compared with pasteurized versions, it has more vividness and a smaller sense of aging.
