Have a great day!

Sake is a Japanese word meaning "alcoholic beverage", which in English has come to refer to a specific alcoholic beverage brewed mainly from rice whose name in Japanese is nihonshu (日本酒 "Japanese alcohol"), though in the right context it can be referred to as simply sake. This article uses the word "sake" as it is used in English.

Sake is widely referred to in English as "rice wine". However, this designation is not accurate. The production of alcoholic beverages by multiple fermentation is more characteristic of beer than wine. Also, there are other beverages known as "rice wine" that are significantly different from nihonshu.
