what ingredients are in sake--the japanese drink?

Sake is an alcoholic brewed beverage of Japanese origin. While it's physical properties are more wine-like, it is actually more closely related to beer.

INGREDIENTS:

The Rice
There are at least nine types of special rice used to make sake. Growing sake rice is hard and backbreaking work, and inefficient as well from a mass-production standpoint.

The Water
Great sake typically comes from small brewers who use special water from nearby mountain streams or hidden underground aquifers.

The Koji
The magical koji mold is used in sake brewing to break down the starch molecules into sugar molecules that can be used as food by the yeast cells.

The Yeast
The type of yeast used in the brewing process significantly impacts the flavor and fragrance of the resulting sake.

The sources for these ingredients greatly effects the flavor of sake, just as do the staple ingredients of beer or wine making.
