What is Amazake?
Amazake is a traditional Japanese rice drink made through the fermentation of rice using koji culture. While it may sound exotic, its flavor is very approachable – gently sweet, slightly creamy, and mild. Importantly, this version contains virtually no alcohol, making it suitable for everyone, including those who avoid alcoholic beverages.
Worth knowing: The word “amazake” includes sake, which is associated with alcohol. In reality, this drink contains less than 1% alcohol, so it is considered non-alcoholic and safe for everyday consumption.
