Sweet Rice Drink

Sweet Rice Drink
Although amazake translates literally into English as “sweet sake”, it is in fact an alcohol free product, made from cooked rice and koji. The koji converts the rice into simple natural sugars, giving amazake its naturally sweet taste. In Japan, thick, creamy amazake is usually enjoyed combined with equal parts of water and gently heated, often served topped with ginger. In the West, it has been become popular as a dairy substitute in baking and puddings, and can also be used straight from the jar as a topping for nuts, fruit or yoghurt.

Yamato Soysauce & Miso Co., Ltd.

This easy-to-drink, gently sweet and refreshing soft drink is made from premium koji and nutrition-rich Japanese rice. It can also be used as a delicious and wholesome alternative to sugar when baking. Mix with soy milk and coffee for an ‘Amazake Latte’, or use instead of milk in pancakes, puddings and stews. Amazake contains no simple sugars, salt, preservatives or sweeteners; its gentle sweetness is from the rice koji alone, making it rich in essential amino acids and vitamins. Brown rice, organic brown rice and white rice versions are available.
