or kuchikami no sake is a type of sake, rice-based brewed alcohol, produced by a process involving human saliva as a fermentation starter. Kuchikamizake was one of the earliest types of Japanese alcoholic drinks. Kuchi means "mouth", kami means "to chew" and zake is the rendaku form of "sake" found in compound words.
口嚼酒（日语：口噛み酒／くちかみざけ）又稱嚼酒，是将米之类的谷物和根菜、果实等放入口中咀嚼并吐出，然后放置而成的一种酒。古代日本、琉球和阿伊努人居住地区均酿造过这种酒，拉丁美洲和非洲等世界其他地区也有发现此酒的记录，但现在的酿造地区仅剩下亚马逊平原等个别区域。由于口嚼酒通常由女性制作，所以在真腊也称为“美人酒”。有说法认为人类酿酒术起源于口嚼酒。 考虑到其传到日本列岛的时期和相关的制作方法、文化等方面，雖然口嚼酒和日本酒都是以米作为製作的原料，但一般认为口嚼酒不是日本酒的原型。
