In general, Sake is a Japanese alcoholic beverage made from rice or a Japanese rice wine. However, differ from true wine, sake is made through a brewing process more like beer.
Like wines, a sake can be defined either as dry or sweet as its basic characteristics. Sake Meter Value is often used to determine whether a sake is either dry or sweet. As reliable a Sake Meter Value would be, acids and other elements can mask the real residual sugar amount. For example, a higher level of acidity can make a sweet sake taste drier than it actually is.
