Nama 生酒

Nama sake is known as "raw sake". It refers to the subcategory of sake that does not undergo the standard two rounds of pasteurization. Therefore, it contains a variety of active enzymes.

Here are three common types of sake which skips the two rounds of pasteurization:
1. Nama (生酒) - totally unpasteurized
2. Namazume (生詰) - gone through the first pasteurization but skipped the second.
3. Namachozo (生貯蔵) - skipped the first pasteurization  but gone through the second.

Nama sake has the highest degree of freshness, which tastes fresher, brighter and livelier. If the nama sake is “Shiboritate しぼりたて", it tends to be a little bit sparkling, due to the active enzymes.

Kimoto/Yamahai 生酛/山廃

Kimoto refers to the traditional and most complicated method of producing "shubo 酒母". Differ from “sokujo 速醸", which directly add lactic acid to the shubo, kimoto method requires manpower to continuously smash the steamed rice, koji and water to propagate the air-borne wild lactic acid bacteria.

Yamahai method was developed in 1909 which requires less manpower yet ends up with similar quality of sake comparing to kimoto method.

Kimoto/Yamahai results in rich flavour, profound aroma, distinct, complex, depth and delicate flavour, with acidity comes from lactic acid.
