What is the most common type of sake consumed in Japan?

In Japan, the most commonly consumed type of sake is junmai-shu, which translates to 'pure rice sake'. Junmai-shu is made from only three ingredients: rice, water, and koji (a type of fungus used in the fermentation process). Unlike other types of sake, junmai-shu does not contain added alcohol, and it has a rich, full-bodied flavor.

Junmai-shu is enjoyed both hot and cold and can be paired with a wide range of foods. It is often served in small ceramic cups and is a popular beverage for special occasions and celebrations.
