Junmai is a type of Japanese sake made from rice, water, yeast, and koji mold, without any added alcohol or sugar. The term "junmai" translates to "pure rice," indicating that it is brewed using only these natural ingredients. This style of sake is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor and often has a slightly acidic taste. Junmai sake is typically brewed with rice that has been polished to at least 70% of its original size, meaning that 30% of the rice grain is removed. This polishing process enhances the sake's flavor profile, making it more refined. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, depending on personal preference.
