Sake is basically the same thing as beer (grain(starch)-based alcohol), I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t be possible to brew a weaker sake.
But the thing is, they never really needed something to serve the role of beer (i.e. an alcoholic drink for safe hydration), because east asians figured out that boiling makes water safe quite a bit earlier that europeans (or they just drank boiled drinks despite not knowing that that’s one of the effects).
Beer has a pretty big caloric value. No citation provided as I’m quoting my memory of a thing i studied for a project 15 years ago. I could be totally full of shit.
Bro, probably not, Jesus Christ man I said I was probably full of shit. What do you want from me? If you’re so interested in it all of a sudden then you go study it.

Tea tried to replace beer in Europe and everybody almost died of malnourishment.
Then I guess east asians also figured out food earlier than europeans. Also, [citation needed].

Bigger than porridge or other non-alcoholic food made from the same amount of grain?
