Japanese food Jizake 地酒

  You may be interested in Japanese alcohol.
I introduce Japanese sake today.
  Sake is the traditional Japanese alcohol.
  It is transparent, like water. Usually, the alcoholicity is
about 15. I got drunken if I have 300 ml.
  Sake is made from rice. It is said that you get fat
if you drink sake too much. As you know, we 
eat rice as the principal food. Our lifestyle is connected with
rice.
  In Japan, there are many kinds of bland of sake.
  People can harvest in every region in Japan.
There are a lot of  breweries in Japan.
  The taste of sake depends on the quality of water.
The sake breweries use a lot of water when they make sake.
It the water is soft water, the taste becomes more soft and sweet.
On the other hand, if the water is hard water, the taste becomes
more dry.
  We call the bland of sake in each region "Jizake".
Maybe there are thousand of Jizake in Japan.
  One of my favorite things is to try the Jizake.
