Sake is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. Sometimes referred to as rice wine, sake is produced by a similar brewing process to that of beer’s.
Sake may sound like a simple product, rice, water and yeast, however the slightest change to the process can make a world of difference. The source of the rice is crucial to the consistency of the product. And variation in the koji production, or the temperature of the fermentation can also result in a drastically different profile. The process of making this delectable beverage is truly an art that has evolved over the centuries until today.
