What is dry sake?

Dry sake, often referred to as "karakuchi" in Japanese, is a type of sake characterized by its low residual sugar content, resulting in a crisp, clean taste. It typically has a higher acidity and a more pronounced umami flavor, making it a popular choice for pairing with various foods. This style of sake is favored by those who enjoy a less sweet and more refreshing beverage. The term "dry" can vary among brands, so tasting different varieties can help you find the right balance for your palate.
