This article uses the word "sake" as it is used in English, as the name for this specific Japanese beverage made from rice. However, in Japanese, the word sake (Japanese: 酒; usually preceded by the honorific prefix o-) means alcoholic beverages in general and not exclusively this specific single beverage; instead, the word Nihonshu (日本酒, literally, "Japanese beverage"?) is used to distinguish it from other beverages. In English, the word "sake" always refers to Nihonshu.
