Sake<\/strong>, also known as nihonshu<\/strong>, can best be compared to beer. It is a Japanese<\/strong> alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you think you may be allergic<\/a> to sake, there are two likely possibilities. You may have a rice<\/a> allergy<\/strong>. Or, you may have a yeast<\/a> allergy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you have a rice<\/strong> allergy<\/a>, you are likely to notice similar symptoms when you eat cooked or steamed rice, or when eating rice noodles.<\/p>\n If you have a yeast<\/strong> allergy, you will likely notice similar symptoms when you drink beer<\/a>, wine<\/a>, or eat bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n It may be possible that alcohol makes you more sensitive to your allergens. Therefore, while you may not have a problem with rice on its own, you may have a noticeable problem when you have rice together with alcohol.<\/p>\n After the sake<\/strong> fermentation process is complete, the resulting liquid is full of rice solids, and is very clouded. Other than nigori<\/b>, the product is filtered and ends up being quite clear. You may therefore have bigger problems with nigori and other types of sake.<\/p>\n
