Sake, also referred to as a Japanese rice wine, is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran. Unlike wine, in which alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar that is naturally present in fruit, typically grapes, and is produced by a brewing process more akin to that of beer, where starch is converted into sugars which ferment into alcohol.

The traditional Japanese brewing process differs from the process for beer in that, for beer, the conversion from starch to sugar and from sugar to alcohol occurs in two distinct steps. Like other rice wines, when brewed, these conversions occur simultaneously. Furthermore, the alcohol content differs between, wine, and beer. Wine generally contains 9–16%, while most beer contains 3–9%, and undiluted sake contains 18–20% (although this is often lowered to about 15% by diluting with water prior to bottling).

In the Japanese language, the word “sake” can refer to any alcoholic drink, while in English it is usually termed nihonshu. Under Japanese liquor laws, sake is labelled with the word seishu, a synonym not commonly used in conversation.

In Japan, where it is the national beverage, it is often served with special ceremony – gently warmed in a small earthenware or porcelain bottle, and sipped from a small porcelain cup called a sakazuki and during all seasons of the year. As with wine, the recommended serving temperature of sake varies greatly by type and season.
