We brew many kinds of sake.
There are two types by material.
In Wikipedia there is a sentence 'brewed mainly from rice'.
It means type from only rice (we call Junmai type Photo-4), and another type is brew from rice and added alcohol during fermentation(we call Futsuu-shu Photo-6).
We add alcohol for clear taste, not for fortified.
It is ordinary 'added alcohol' type in Japan. But we brew both.
And there are another classification in quality.
Limited high quality type we call Ginjo (Junmai Ginjo Photo-3).
Especially the best quality in Ginjo we call Daiginjo Photo-2 (Junmai Daiginjo Photo-1).
