As far as mash is concerned, some people refer to it as sake, while others simply call it rice wine.

In terms of taste and nature, mash and rice wine are indeed similar, both being a relatively low-alcohol beverage.

However, there are differences between mash and rice wine.

Some people think that the mash is the dregs left over from the brewing of rice wine ...... the essence of which is called wine, and when watered down it is called rice wine.

This statement is not too accurate. ...... Because mash is a drink in itself, some people make mash directly, not because they brew rice wine to produce mash. ...... In fact, mash is a very popular food in many places, and it's not wine dregs.

Specifically, the differences between mash and rice wine are as follows:

1, the raw materials are different.

The brewing material of rice wine is rice.

And the brewing material of mash is glutinous rice.

From the brewing material is different this point can be seen, mash and rice wine is still relatively obvious difference between.

2, the alcohol content is different.

The alcohol content of rice wine is higher, about 12-15 degrees.

The alcohol content of mash is lower, only about 3-8 degrees.

3, different uses.

There are two uses for rice wine:

1, drinking. ...... as a drink directly.

2, cooking seasoning. ...... When rice wine is used for this purpose, it acts similarly to cooking wine.

And the mash is clearly used as a food. ...... The specific ways of serving mash are, in turn, very rich and the flavors are quite unique.

4, fermentation time is different.

The fermentation time for rice wine is about 20 hours.

The fermentation time for mash, on the other hand, takes about 36 hours ...... The fermentation time for mash is much longer.

The above, is the specific difference between rice wine and mash. ...... From this, it can be seen that although rice wine and mash are similar, the difference between the two is very obvious, and the two are two completely different kinds of food. ...... However, because they are in a similar state and have similar flavors, some people think that these two drinks are in the same category, which is inaccurate ...... In fact, there is a difference between mash and rice wine.
