Sake Classifications
Sake in the six classifications below is known collectively as "tokutei meishoshu," or "special designation sake," and can for all intents and purposes be considered "premium sake." It constitutes only about 20% of all sake produced. Sake collectively known as "ginjo-shu" can be considered "super-premium sake." Ginjo-shu and its subclasses constitute only the top 6% of all sake produced, and represents the pinnacle of the brewer's craft
Junmai Daiginjo-Shu
A subclass of junmai ginjo-shu, brewed with very highly polished rice (to at least 60%) with even more precision and labor intensive methods. The pinnacle of the brewer's art. Generally light, complex and fragrant
Junmai Ginjo-Shu
Brewed with labor-intensive steps, eschewing machinery for traditional tools and methods, using highly polished rice (at least 60%) and fermented at colder temperatures for longer periods of time. Light, fruity, and refined
Junmai-Shu
Made with only rice, water and koji mold. The rice used must be polished to at least 70%. Often a full and solid flavor profile, clean and well-structured
Daiginjo-Shu
A subclass of ginjo-shu below, brewed with very highly polished rice (to at least 50%) with even more precision and labor intensive methods. The pinnacle of the craftsman brewer's art. Generally light, complex and quite fragrant
Ginjo-Shu
Brewed with labor-intensive steps, eschewing machinery for traditional tools and methods, using highly polished rice (at least 60%) and fermented at colder temperatures for longer periods of time. Light, aromatic, fruity, and refined
Honjozo-Shu
Made with rice, water, koji and a very small amount of pure distilled alcohol ("brewer's alcohol") to help extract flavor and aroma. Light, mildly fragrant, and easy to drink
Matching Food and Sake
Although sake may not have the presence of wine, nor the fullness or impact, there are still many styles and countless individual flavor profiles. Each will work well with some food, less well with others. There are several parameters that you can focus on when working with sake and food
Sake Parameters
Sake is deceivingly complex. Its flavors and fragrances are more subtle than overt. Still, there are several parameters you can work with, definable qualities of a sake, that can either complement a dish, or constructively and favorably contrast it. Here are a few examples of easily identifiable sake qualities. Note that these are but a few examples, and are by no means a standard
Fragrance
Sake with a prominent fruity fragrance, like some daiginjo sake, will work well as an aperitif, with enough presence to stand on its own and enhance the assertive appetite. Yet, too much of a fruity fragrance (especially the lighter fruit essences commonly found in much premium sake) will not lend to blending with solid, settled dishes like meat and fowl, and may clash with a herbal baked dish. Milder, gently tart or rice-laced fragrances tie in nicely with moderately flavored fish and vegetables
Sweet Vs. Dry
Sweetness in sake, within reason, can support a more full flavored dish, accenting richness and saltiness in the dish. Keep in mind that the sweet-dry range of most good sake is not all that wide; what is sweet for sake is hardly over powering so on an objective scale. Dryer sake can create a nice stage for the freshness and light flavors of fresh seafood
Acidity
This is one of the easiest of sake flavor parameters with which to work. The acidity of sake is a fraction of the overall acidity of wine, but the acidity presence of given sake compared to other sake is comparable to the acidity of a given wine compared to other wines. In other words, acidity in sake is a proportionally scaled down counter-part of acidity in wine. Sake with a piercing acidity works well with slightly oily foods, like tempura or some baked fish. A slightly milder acidity will serve to spread the flavor of the sake out nicely, allowing the sake to suffuse and more broadly support a medium-bodied dish. Low-acidity sake, with its soft touch, blends well with food with a soft tactile facet to it, like sashimi
Texture
Soft sake that absorbs into the palate can serve to refresh and cleanse for the next taste and absolving it of any lingering flavors. This is excellent for dishes with complex and busy flavors. More crisp lively sake can function instead as an uppity contrast to equally assertive food flavors like pronounced green spices and peppers
Freshness-lightness – Vs – Settled-earthiness
Fresh feeling, refined and light sake rings solidly true with fresh seafood and light vegetarian fare. Like sashimi and vinegar-laced dishes. Contrast this with sake that has a settled, earthy touch, manifested in traces of bitterness and tartness, acidity and extremely well-rounded tones. Sake fitting this description comes as close as sake can to being a great accompaniment to meat and poultry
