Für hochwertigen Sake wird der Reis vor dem Verarbeiten poliert, um einen möglichst hohen Anteil der im Reiskern konzentrierten Stärke zu erhalten. Je kleiner der Poliergrad, desto feiner und aromatischer wird der Sake.
Good water makes good rice. Good rice makes good sake. Information about the Ingredients of Premium Sake.
Sake is brewed, and its production is therefore reminiscent of that of beer. Its alcohol content, however, is about 15% which, in addition to its various flavour profiles, makes it most closely comparable to wine. In spite of these comparisons to both wine and beer, Sake production is unique in that it entails the simultaneous conversion of starch to sugar and the alcoholic fermentation of said sugar (beer, on the other hand, is brewed from pre-saccharized malt).
