National Sake Day is October 1! Sake, a Japanese rice wine made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran. Unlike wine, in which alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar that is naturally found in grapes, sake is produced by a brewing process similar to beer, where the starch is converted into sugars, before being converted to alcohol.
