Sake

Sake, is Japanese rice wine, is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran. … Like other rice wines, when sake is brewed, these conversions occur simultaneously.

There are some health benefits to drinking Japanese sake in moderation. Sake reduces the risk of having cancer, helps prevent osteoporosis and diabetes, can help to reduce high blood pressure, and even makes your skin clearer because it reduces the production of melanin so sunspots become less visible
