Sake is an alcoholic beverage made from rice, koji, and water. Like wine and beer, producing sake requires fermenting the ingredients. On the contrary to what many people may believe, it is not a distilled spirit.
The only ingredients used are water, rice, koji and yeast – with no added alcohol. This classification also means that the rice used has been polished to at least 70 percent. Junmai sake tends to have a rich, full body with an intense, slightly acidic flavor.
