Isao Uehara knows there are easier ways to make sake, but calls those methods soul-less. Here he adds an extra portion of yamahai shubo at the end of the usual brewing process because he wants to boost the umami, not the sweetness.

What you can expect:

Delicious fruity acidity with complex floral and nutty aroma. Medium body with lingering umami.

Serve cool, not cold.
