Sake is an alcohol prepared by fermenting rice, which has been polished to get rid of the bran. Sake is additionally referred to as Japanese rice wine. Unlike wine, during which alcohol is ready by fermenting sugar that's naturally present in fruit (typically grapes), sake, and indeed any East Asian rice wine (such as huangjiu and cheongju), is especially produced by a brewing process, which is more like that of beer, where starch is essentially converted into sugars which ferment into alcohol. The brewing process for sake basically differs from the method for beer, where the conversion from starch to sugar and from sugar to alcohol occurs in two distinct steps. Like other rice wines, when sake is brewed, these conversions occur simultaneously. In Japan, sake is usually served with a special ceremony, where it's gently warmed during a small earthenware or porcelain bottle then sipped from a little porcelain cup called a sakazuki. Undiluted sake has an ABV of about 18%-20%. If sake is diluted with water before it's bottled, the ABV are going to be around 15%.
