Pasteurized only once prior to tank storage
In traditional sake process, sake will pasteurize twice in different stage, pasteurized prior to tank storage, and pasteurized prior to bottling.
If sake pasteurized only once prior to tank storage, we call this kind of sake “Namazume (生詰)”.


Because of Namazume only pasteurize once prior to tank storage and not pasteurized prior to bottling, the Namazume will get fresh flavor like Nama sake. But Namazume must storage carefully like Nama sake.
Hiyaoroshi also pasteurized once prior to tank storage, aged over half year and bottling without pasteurized. It is also a kind of Namazume.
