Try Low ABV Sake Cocktails for Gentle Sipping

Going Low ABV just works better sometimes.  No need to sacrifice flavor and sophistication. Choose sake, the most versatile choice for a light indulgence at a Low ABV from 5-13%. 

Here's a Sake Guide to help understand the labels when choosing your first bottle.

Junmai - Refers to pure rice (non-additive) sake polished to at least 70%. Known for a rich full body with an intense, slightly acidic flavor

Honjozo - Honjozo also uses rice that has been polished to at least 70 percent but contains a small amount of distilled brewers alcohol, which is added to smooth out the flavor and aroma of the sake.

Ginjo and Junmai Ginjo - Ginjo is premium sake that uses rice that has been polished to at least 60 percent. It is brewed using special yeast and fermentation techniques. The result is often a light, fruity, and complex flavor that is usually quite fragrant.  Junmai ginjo is simply ginjo sake that also fits the “pure rice” (no additives) definition.

Daiginjo and Junmai Daiginjo - Daiginjo is super premium and requires precise brewing methods with rice that has been polished to at least 50 percent.  

Futsushu is a common table sake. The rice has barely been polished (somewhere between 70 and 93 percent) and not junmai.
