What is sake?

Sake, often referred to as "nihonshu" in Japan, is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. It’s known for its subtle, nuanced flavors and is typically enjoyed in various settings, from casual gatherings to formal ceremonies. The production of sake involves a brewing process similar to beer, where polished rice is combined with water, yeast, and a mold called koji to convert the rice starches into sugars and, subsequently, alcohol. The resulting drink can vary greatly in taste, aroma, and texture, influenced by factors such as the type of rice used, the degree of polishing, and the specific brewing techniques employed. Sake is celebrated for its versatility, often paired with a wide range of foods, and can be enjoyed at different temperatures, from chilled to warm, depending on the variety and personal preference. In Japan, sake holds cultural significance and is often associated with rituals and festive occasions, making it a symbol of hospitality and celebration.
