Premium sake is called “tokutei meishoshu.” This classification means that the only ingredients allowed are water, rice, koji, yeast and sometimes brewer’s alcohol. All other sake is called “futsushu,” or table sake. This type of sake can include a higher amount of distilled alcohol, as well as additives such as sweeteners. About 70% of sake in Japan is futsushu!
This is the type of everyday sake that many people enjoy
