Learn about and try 4 sake made with traditional lactic fermentation for $20.

Kimoto and Yamahai are two unique ways of brewing sake which allow the sake mash (moromi) to develop its own yeast. Along with this natural, ambient yeast comes a higher buildup of lactic acid, resulting in a lovely complexity and increased acidity.
