@Holy Intersectional Inquisition Yes, it's a wine made from honey.
Sake is a wine made from rice

HMMMM
It sounds like a fancier version of Jack Daniel's honey
yeah prolly the same with different honey and scotch instead of bourbon
And herbs
ye
This is the kind of liquor I'd sell at a bar for specials at cost, because no one else would carry it
\*sluuuuuuuurrrrrrpppppp*
"how's it goin STEP BRO?!"
@Holy Intersectional Inquisition `no idea how sake is made`
So sake isn't distilled, but they add a special mold to the rice which enzymatically breaks down the starch into sugar, effectively feeding the yeast a steady supply of food over time. This lets them make a huge amount of alcohol in the end
@Holy Intersectional Inquisition but rice has no flavour so sake tastes kinda like vodka but weaker, and maybe with some sweetness depending on how much sugar the koji mold produces after the yeast become inactive and before you strain the liquid and/or pasteurize it. So it tastes bland. But if you used malted barley or wheat and hops instead, it would taste I'm guessing like beer, but very strong
So basically its fucking fermented rice
Nigga you didn't have to write two novels to say fermented rice
@Buren thanks

@Jules Winnfield well it's not just fermented rice, since that would be rice beer
You literally fermented it
You ferment moonshine and it ain't a beer
At least I dont believe it is
You distill moonshine, not sake
rice makes beer because rice is a cereal grain
and moonshine is distilled yeah
Sake is weird though
That's why sake is a wine, not a brandy
They do the retarded method
It's a very temperamental bacteria
