Japanese Sake Sets
Sake is one of the most popular drinks in Japan, and plays an integral role in Japanese culture and tradition. Sake has been made in Japan for over 2,000 years, and significant advances have been made in the production process throughout the years. Though it is called rice "wine," the process of making Sake has more in common with the brewing of beer. The parallels with beer are many, because unlike wine sake is not aged for more than six months. But sake should not be compared too closely with beer, because it is not carbonated, and is also considered a healthy drink because many of the impurities in the rice are eliminated during the lengthy and complicated brewing process.

Sake has basically four ingredients. The first and perhaps most important is rice, and there are approximately 46 types of rice used to produce sake. That may not seem remarkable until you consider that there are more than 120,000 different varieties of rice in the world. Sake rice is selected because it is has a larger kernel, and also because it is easier to work with than other grains. In the first step of the brewing process, the rice is "polished:" machines mill the grain of rice to eliminate the outer layers, leaving only the starch-rich "packet" in the center of each grain of rice. Interestingly the milling process was once completed by hand, or rather by mouth. Ancient sake production saw "chewing parties" as part of a Shinto fertility rite: a whole village would chew the grains of rice with nuts and spit the chewed product into a large tub. Fortunately for quality control standards and hygiene, this practice of producing kuchikami no saké ("chewing in the mouth saké") has long since been discontinued.
