sake

Japanese wine made from rice. It is usually served heated but may also be drunk at room temperature. There are both dry and sweet types. Sake contains 14%-18% alcohol.

The starch in the rice is converted to glucose by enzymes produced by a mould of the genus Aspergillus, and then fermented. Two-thirds of Japanese sake is made with the same strain of rice; variations in taste and quality depend on the water and on how highly polished the rice is. Sake is aged for up to a year, traditionally in cedar barrels but oak is also used. Mirin is a sweet spirit derived from sake and used chiefly in cooking.

It's amusing that the Zanucks are getting ready to tap the last nails into dance's Hollywood coffin when some of the most popular movies, even since the demise in the '50s of the big movie musical, have been strong on dancing: The Turning Point, Flashdance (my personal nomination for tacky-supreme) Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing, Fame, and what about, for pete's sake, the fabulous The Full Monty?
