What it is

Salted seasoning sake is a type of rice wine (sake) specifically formulated for cooking. It is made by fermenting rice, water, and koji mold, with salt added to distinguish it from beverage sake and to enhance its culinary uses.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salted seasoning sake to foods primarily for its flavor-enhancing properties, providing a savory depth and umami. It can also help tenderize meats and mask undesirable odors in certain dishes. It is commonly found in Asian-inspired frozen dinners, stir-fries, and marinades.

Health notes

Salted seasoning sake is regulated by the FDA as a food ingredient. It contains alcohol, though much of it typically evaporates during cooking. The salt content contributes to overall sodium intake; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. There are no specific controversies regarding salted seasoning sake as a food ingredient beyond general dietary advice regarding alcohol and sodium intake.
