Junmai
Junmai is a type of sake made with rice that is polished with 70% of the grain remaining. The requirements specify that the only ingredients used to produce junmai include rice, koji, yeast, and water, while no other additions, such as alcohol or sugar, are allowed.
This sake is usually slightly heavier and full-bodied, with a more earthy character than its fruity and floral counterparts, but remaining light and refreshing. It is an easy-drinking sake that can be a good match to slightly heavier dishes. Junmai can be served chilled or warm.
