WWII Memorabilia

What is the difference between Chinese rice wine and Japanese sake?

Saw it on Iron Chef cooking show where they added both to a dish they were cooking. Cheers

I am a former chef and worked in Asia and they may be made with rice, but have a totally different taste and complexity, there are over 600 types or styles of sake, I worked in japan, and cooking sake or mirin is a sweeter one, regular sake is around 12-15% alcohol, were as Chinese cooking with can be clear or as the one person said with Shaioxin it is a bit darker almost sherry in colour and abit more tasty, I buy it here in Toronto Canada for $1.00-3.00 a bottle, there are more expensive ones but for cooking it is more flavouring and can help tenderize some cuts of meat, but like sake is a bit strong, not in alcohol but does have a more pronounced flavour. And as the previuos respondant said they are salted to prevent people from consuming them heavily, the winos here used to drink it for the high.
