What it is

Salted sake is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice, to which salt has been added. It is traditionally made in Japan by brewing rice, water, yeast, and koji mold, and then incorporating salt into the finished product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use salted sake primarily as a flavoring agent in various dishes. It adds umami, depth of flavor, and can also act as a tenderizer for meats. It is commonly found in Asian cuisine, marinades, sauces, soups, and prepared frozen meals.

Health notes

In the United States, sake is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient, and salt is also a GRAS substance. The primary health considerations relate to its components: alcohol and sodium. Excessive alcohol consumption carries known health risks, and high sodium intake is linked to elevated blood pressure. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride (salt) and determined that an acceptable daily intake (ADI) does not need to be specified, as it is a nutrient. Sake itself is not typically evaluated as a food additive by JECFA or EFSA.

Allergen info

Salted sake is derived from rice, which is not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
