SAKE & MORE
What is Sake?
Sake is a 6,800 year old, all-natural fermented alcoholic beverage made from four main ingredients: rice, water, yeast and koji — an enzyme that converts starch into sugar, and lends a prominent and delightful flavor. Sake is essentially brewed like beer but the end product is served like wine, with very similar alcohol content and tasting characteristics.
Like wines, a sake can also be defined either as dry or sweet as its basic characteristics. The Nihonshu-do, or Sake Meter Value (SMV) is a measure of the density of the sake relative to water. It is a very general reference to the sweetness or dryness of a sake.
