Sake is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage that has been produced for centuries. It is made from fermented rice and typically has an alcohol content of 15-20%. Sake is often served warm or at room temperature and is considered a delicacy in Japan.

The earliest evidence of sake production was found in the remains of an ancient brewery in Nara Prefecture.

Over the centuries, sake brewing techniques have been refined and perfected, resulting in the wide variety of sake that is available today. Sake is now produced in all 47 prefectures of Japan and is enjoyed by people around the world.
