                                According to the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association, the average sake contains approximately 4 grams of sugar per 100 grams. This naturally leads many to question: is there much sugar in sake, and how does it compare to other alcoholic beverages? The answer is nuanced and depends heavily on the type of sake and its unique production process.
