Sake is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice, specifically Japonica rice, which undergoes a unique brewing process known as multiple parallel fermentation. This intricate method allows the starches in the rice to convert into sugars while simultaneously fermenting those sugars into alcohol, resulting in a drink that typically has an alcohol content ranging from 15% to 20%. The polishing ratio of the rice varies among different sake categories, such as Junmai (less than 70% polished), Ginjo (less than 60%), and Daiginjo (less than 50%), influencing the flavor and aroma profile.
The flavor and aroma of sake can be described as fruity, floral, umami-rich, earthy, and nutty. It is categorized into several types including Junmai, Honjozo, Ginjo, Daiginjo, Nigori, and Futsushu. Sake pairs beautifully with various foods such as sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, tempura dishes, and light salads. It can be enjoyed in different serving styles: chilled (reishu), at room temperature (jōon), or warmed (kanzake), making it a versatile choice for any dining experience.
