During production, various ingredients can be added to sake to shade or enhance the flavor of the drink. So sake can smell of apples or bananas, grapes or mushrooms. The color of sake can also vary depending on the ingredients it is made from. Sake can take on every shade of yellow and greenish color.
Sake is usually called rice vodka. However, this drink has nothing to do with vodka. Some people believe that sake is rice wine, which is also not true. So what is sake? Picture this: sake is a rice beer.
To get high-quality sake, you need to take
rice
of special varieties whose grains are large, "fleshy" and heavy. These usually contain a lot of starch. In Japan there are special rice varieties considered the most preferable for making sake. These are Omachi rice and Yamada Nishiki rice. The water needed to make sake must contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. It should contain neither iron nor manganese.
How do you drink sake? In Japan sake can be drunk both slightly warmed and chilled. Very often sake is added to many fish dishes or
meat dishes
— especially when you need to rid the latter of not-so-pleasant odors.
