Japanese Sake - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Japanese Sake

• Metabolic Effect: Japanese sake can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its high carbohydrate content. The alcohol it contains can cause water retention and edema in the body.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming sake alone, consuming it with foods containing protein and fiber can help balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with vegetables or low-fat cheese.
• Things to Consider: The high calorie content of Japanese sake is important for those who want to maintain weight control. Excessive consumption can increase energy intake, leading to weight gain. A glass of sake may contain the equivalent calories of a slice of dessert.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn 588 calories, you need to run at a brisk pace for about 1 hour. This requires a high-intensity workout.
