Futsu-shu is regular sake, a type of table sake that makes up about 70% of all sake that is made. Much of this sake is mass produced where eventually the yield is increased by adding distilled alcohol, glucose, amino acids, lactic acids and water. Because the sake produced approximately doubled in quantity, used to be three times larger without restrictions, it is often the cheap simple sake. Usually no special sake rice is used and the production process is mainly or entirely mechanical, computer-controlled and fast. There are many exceptions to everything regarding sake, as is the case with this. Many small sake breweries in areas such as Nagano, Tochigi, Fukushima, Niigata and Gunma make very refined Futsu-shu. In addition, there are breweries that downgrade sake with a polishing value below 50% from Daiginjo to Futsu-shu by adding just a little more than the legal amount of 10% brewer's alcohol. You can almost see it at these breweries as the super Tuscan wines with grape varieties that were not allowed in Tuscany at the time, making them table wines.
