Some Sake Basics:
Sake sin one of the worlds oldest beverages. Fermented from rice (which is a grain), by skilled master brewers across the globe. Like beer, sake is made from a starchy grain rather than a sugary fruit, and so the fermentation process for both beer and sake states with the transformation of starch into sugar-a step not necessary when making wine. however, unlike beer, sake is never carbonated and certainly the wide range of flavors and fragrances found in fine sake (i.e. dryness, maturity, depth, etc) is more akin to wine than to beer. In the end it is safe to say that a sake is a unique fermented beverage that shares some of the best characteristics of both beer and wine. It is also important to note that sake is free from sulfites. It is light and comparatively free of hangover causing congeners. Premium sake is also free from additives and preservatives.
