El sake es un licor japonés que se elabora con arroz fermentado. En concreto se hace con Shinpaku-mai, un arroz muy especial porque tiene un alto contenido en almidón en el corazón de cada grano, con lo que se consigue que esté intacto durante todo el proceso de elaboración.
Esta bebida tiene entre 14º y 16º de alcohol y además podemos encontrar diferentes tipos: unos más secos y otros más dulces.
Lo podemos tomar caliente, templado o frío, dependiendo del gusto del bebedor, aunque en general, se toma frío en verano y caliente en invierno.
Normalmente, el sake se consume en rituales espirituales, aunque también es un ingrediente común en la cocina asiática.
Mirin
El mirin es un vino de arroz parecido al sake, pero con menos alcohol y más dulce.
Se elabora con tres ingredientes: arroz, koji (un hongo que se cultiva sobre el arroz cocido al vapor inoculando las esporas) y shochu (una bebida alcohólica destilada elaborada con arroz, trigo, cebada, sarraceno o patata).
Es un condimento fundamental en la cocina japonesa, y se utiliza sobre todo para acompañar pescados y también algunas carnes. Además es uno de los ingredientes más importantes de la conocida salsa Teriyaki.
En España lo podemos comprar en supermercados. Se vende en botellas de 250 ml, 500 ml y 1 l.
