The ingredients used to brew sake are ‘rice’ and ‘water.’
The ingredients used to brew sake are ‘rice’ and ‘water.’
The production region of sake rice is said to be Southeast Asia.
Japan grows mainly Japonica Rice.
Sake is brewed from non-glutinous rice. Large grains of sake rice are polished to brew sake.
Therefore, producers take great care since rice ears fall easily.
Over 100 rice brands suitable to brew sake circulate in the market.
However, the following three rice brands constitute seventy percent of raw sake rice used to brew Japanese sake:
Yamadanishiki: 33%
Gohyakumangoku: 25%
Miyamanishiki: 15%
Most sake breweries are located near rivers to use groundwater and spring water, while other breweries have groundwater or a well on the premises. Water quality in Japan is mostly soft water, used to brew sake.
日本酒の原料「米」と「水」
米の原産地は東南アジアと言われている。
日本は、ジャポニカ米
日本酒はうるち米から作るが、日本酒の醸造の際は米を削るので粒の大きいお米を使用する。
したがって稲穂が倒れやすいので生産も大変。
酒造好適米は約100種類以上あるが、
山田錦 ３３％
五百万石 ２５％
美山錦 １５％
この３種類が日本酒の原料米のほとんどの7割占めている。

水は酒蔵の近くにはほとんどと言って良いほど川が近くにあり、湧き水、地下水を利用している。
敷地内に湧き水や井戸がある酒蔵も多い。水質については、日本のほとんどの水は軟水であり、その水を酒作りに使用している。
