Sake is a Japanese traditional alcoholic beverage made from rice and water. Recently, its export and its production in countries other than Japan have increased. In accordance, both the breeding and the cultivation of sake rice varieties have been extended to wide areas of Japan. To breed new sake rice cultivars and to cultivate rice with high suitability for sake production, an understanding of the properties of the ingredient rice grains and the factors affecting sake making is important. The influence of various rice properties, such as starch structure, protein, water absorption, and grain polishing, on sake making are being revealed in detail. In this review, the properties of rice used for sake making are summarized in terms of fermentation science and rice cultivation.
