Sake, also known as Japanese rice wine, is made from fermented rice, water, and koji (a type of fungus). It's a complex process, but trust me, it's worth it! With an ABV (alcohol by volume) ranging from 15% to 16%, sake can pack a punch, but what about the calories?
A standard serving of sake (about 1.5 ounces) contains around 120-140 calories. Not too bad, right? But, let's be real, who stops at just one serving? It's like eating just one potato chip – it's not happening! So, if you're planning on having a few cups, those calories can add up quickly.
Now, here's the thing, not all sake is created equal. Some types, like junmai and ginjo, tend to be lower in calories, while others, like honjozo and _daiginjo, can be higher. It's all about the rice and the brewing process, baby!
