YAMAHAI - TRADITIONAL YEAST STARTER

Yamahai Sake represents a traditional style of Sake where a small amount of the ingredients are brought together and instead of ‘mashing’ as with Kimoto, the ingredients are just left alone. This again allows lactic bacteria to become involved in the starter by feeding the yeast. Sake made in the Yamahai method tend to be more full bodied, robust and earthier in character.
