Sake

Sake is a very special kind of Japanese alcohol that comes from rice. So you know rice? It's like something we eat a lot that's kind of like really tiny pieces of food. Yeah, that's rice!

Okay, so back to sake. First, the rice has to be all cleaned up and then it's soaked in water. Then it's cooked and ground up so that it's like really tiny pieces too. And then it's mixed with a special kind of yeast that helps make the alcohol.

After that, it all gets put in a big tank together and left for a while so that the yeast can do its magic and turn the rice into alcohol. Once that happens, the sake gets filtered and then it's ready to be served to thirsty people!

Sake can taste kind of like different things, depending on what kind of rice and yeast are used to make it. Sometimes it might taste a little sweet or fruity, and other times it might be more dry and kind of crisp.

But one thing about sake is that it's often served warm, which means that it's heated up a little bit before it's poured into a cup. This can make it taste even better and kind of cozy, like a warm blanket on a cold day!

Overall, sake is a really interesting and tasty kind of alcohol that's really special to Japan. And now you know how it's made too!
