But too high ratio doesn’t have much meaning because of structure of rice. The important thing is to remove rice envelopes for brewing sake clear and beautiful. Ingredients of rice, protein makes sake rich but dirty, and because it is contained at the envelope but core part. 30% ratio is enough to make it clearer.
