The brewing method descended to some brewers in Nara, and they produced "nanto moro-haku," which enjoyed a reputation as the highest grade clean sake for a long time, just like today's "junmai daiginjo" (added alcohol-free "daiginjo" [top-quality sake brewed at low temperatures from rice grains milled to 50% of weight or less]).
その造り方の流れを継ぐ奈良の酒屋の『南都諸白（なんともろはく）』は、まるで今日の純米大吟醸酒のように、もっとも高級な清酒の呼び名として長らく名声をほしいままにした。
