SAKE

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 54 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAKE , the national beverage of Japan. In
character
  it stands midway between beer and wine. It is made chiefly from
rice
  (see
BREWING
 ). Sake contains 12 to 15% of
alcohol
  and about 3% of solid matter (extractives), 0.3% of lactic
54
acid, a small quantity of volatile acid, 0.5% of
sugar
  and o8 % of glycerin. There are about 20,000 sake breweries in Japan, and the annual output is about 15o million gallons. Sake is a yellowish-
white
  liquid, its flavour somewhat resembling that of madeira or sherry. It is warmed prior to
consumption
 , as the flavour is thereby improved and it is rendered more digestible. The name is said to be derived from the town of Osaka which, from time immemorial, has been famous for its sake. According to Morewood it is probable that the wine called " sack " in England derived its name from the Japanese liquor, being introduced by Spanish and Portuguese traders (see WINE).
