As opposed to what? Chinese Sake?
Yes actually. Its a literal translation of the word nihonshu which is what sake in English refers to. Any alcoholic beverage can be referred to as "sake" in Japanese.
Plus sake can be made in other places so you can have french sake, American sake. Etc
It's not inherently wrong to make a distinction. For the type of liquor sake is, it's a rice wine. A decent amount of Asia has variants for any country that had rice to work with.
Hell, in terms of funny thought, historical indications is that China is the first to make rice wine. Japan just made it popular with the rest of the world.
I made the distinction as yes, "sake" as a term is typically used as an all-encompassing term for every kind of alcohol in Japan. Moreover, I usually do not assume readers would know what various Japanese terms mean, so I try to add or embed explanations or references for people to understand or look up. AKA translation notes.In japanese sake means liquor... any type of it
In Japanese, Sake (酒) refers to any kind of liquior. The "Sake" as non-Japanese know it, is called Nihonshu (日本酒, literally means Japanese Sake) in Japan.I'm not dissing anybody but

not too far behind.Anyways, the raw is already at 49.1
Technically Sake can be made anywhere since it is just a type of rice wine, and, like most any food or beverage, it is going to taste different depending on where it is made, so the core idea is that is like an authentic Japanese Sake. It's kind of like how Wagyu beef doesn't always come from Japan, so long as Japanese cattle are among the breeds used to breed the cattle producing the beef, Japanese Wagyu beef can be expected to be the high grade cut of rumors, but outside of Japan it is generally just a title used to garner attention, so Wagyu beef vs Japanese Wagyu beef makes a BIG difference.I'm not dissing anybody but
