清酒（日本酒）最近在国际上获得了相当大的欢迎。如果你有机会访问日本，这是一个品尝比海外更多种类清酒的好机会。继续阅读以了解更多关于清酒的信息以及在东京可以享受清酒的强烈推荐地点。
What's Sake?
Sake is made by adding koji (fermentation starter) and water to steamed white rice, which is then fermented and aged to perfection. It's a method that is unique to Japan, and there are different types of sake in different parts of the country. Although it sits in the same category as beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages, the alcoholic content tends to be around 15% - 16% ABV. Recently, in a bid to appeal to the international audience, low alcohol sake with 5% - 10% ABV has become more common as well.
A defining characteristic of sake is its complex categorization based on the ingredients used, rice polishing/milling ratio, and brewing method. In Japan, each sake brewery guards its own secret recipe that has been handed down through several generations. The chief brewers are called the "Toji", and the other skilled brewers are called the "Kurabito." The road to becoming a Toji is difficult, and one has to hold the Grade 1 CSP (Certified Sake Professional) certification to even be considered. Sake made by the most skillful technicians are said to characterize Japan itself, filled with a painstakingly crafted, delicate flavor.

Types of Sake
Sake is classified according to its ingredients and method of production. To facilitate classification, sake labeling has to indicate: ingredients, rice milling/polishing ratio, koji usage, and flavoring/fragrances used. Of course, this classification is not an indication of the superiority or inferiority of the liquor itself. Here are a couple different kinds of sake.
Ginjo Sake
Ginjo sake is made from koji, water, distilled alcohol, and rice with a 60% or less polishing ratio. It's manufactured using an extremely advanced low-temperature brewing method that makes its flavor and scent the very best that sake can offer. However, it also means that mass production can be difficult, and the cost of production tends to be quite high as well. As you'd expect, ginjo sake is often displayed at sake exhibitions. By fermenting over a long period of time at low temperatures, the characteristic ginjo fragrance is reminiscent of apple, banana, and melon. Some highly popular, classic choices are [Koshi no Kanbai] from Niigata Prefecture and [Bakuren] from Yamagata Prefecture. Both have a crisp and refreshing flavor.
Daiginjo Sake
Daiginjo sake is made from koji, water, and rice with a 50% or less polishing ratio. Additionally, the low-temperature fermentation process is much more thorough than that of ginjo sake. Lastly, a small amount of distilled alcohol is added to bring out its fragrance. Its fruity fragrance and refreshing flavor make it a popular choice for sake beginners and experts alike. The [Kokuryu Shizuku] from Fukui Prefecture comes highly recommended. You'll be able to enjoy the fruity of aroma and sweet aftertaste of lychee, strawberry, and apple that is characteristic of daiginjo sake.
Junmai Sake
Junmai sake is made from white rice, koji, and water. In order to qualify as junmai, over one third of the ingredients has to be white rice or the equivalent of brown rice, and the weight of the koji has to exceed 15% of the weight of the white rice. Recently, due to progress in rice polishing technology, there has been a characteristic increase in junmai sake with high rice polishing-ratios. The [Kubota Manju] from Niigata Prefecture is a well-known sake brand that comes highly recommended. The smooth texture and discreet, rice-like flavor makes it an extremely popular choice.
Honjozo Sake
Honjozo sake is generally recognized as the most basic sake. It is made from koji, water, distilled alcohol, and rice with a 70% or less polishing ratio. However, you'll also find [Special Honjozo Sake], which is a broad category referring to honjozo sake with special flavors and fragrances, those made with less than a 60% rice polishing ratio, as well as those manufactured using unique brewing methods. The highly recommended [Kenbishi] from Hyogo Prefecture has a crisp flavor and powerful kick. The refreshing [Hakkaisan] from Niigata Prefecture is a classic and extremely popular choice that been well-beloved in Japan through the ages.
Namazake
Although most sake is heat-treated to stop yeast activity prior to bottling, those that go without heat treatment are called namazake. Due to its characteristic freshness, it is best stored at near freezing temperatures to bring out its flavor. The [No. 6] from Akita Prefecture comes highly recommended. The well-balanced sweetness and acidity is akin to white wine and has been seeing a rapid rise in popularity recently.
The Taste of Sake
Sake is largely divided into sweet and dry categories. Sweet sake is high in sugar content and low in acidity, dry sake is low in sugar content and high in acidity. Body-wise, sake is further divided into light-body and full-body categories. This means that you'll have sake that is sweet and light, dry and light, sweet and full, and dry and full. Sweet sake with a light body has very little aftertaste and comes with a gentle flavor. It's a popular option as it doesn't get in the way of tasting your food. Dry sake with a light body is low in acidity, making it easy to drink. Sweet sake with a full body brings out the original gentle sweetness of the rice, and nicely compliments Japanese cuisine. Dry sake with a full body features the optimal balance between sweetness and acidity, and goes well with strong-flavored dishes and delicacies.
