For the Japanese, "sake" is a generic term covering all alcoholic beverages. In this book we deal with Japanese sake, which the Japanese call "nihonshu" or, administratively, "seishu" (respectively Japanese alcohol or clear alcohol). Sake, as we conceive of it here, is therefore a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage, usually translucent, colorless and containing 15-17% alcohol, resulting from the fermentation of rice. It should not be confused with baijiu or meikueilu, which are 40% ABV distilled alcohols served in shooter glasses with suggestive drawings in many Asian restaurants.
