Made through a process similar to that of sake, amazake is a sweet, non-alcoholic fermented rice drink, with a taste and texture similar to sweetened condensed milk. Made from high-quality Akita Komachi rice, this citrus amazake includes juice from fresh mikan oranges harvested in Ehime Prefecture.

Located at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, Shirakami Tedukuri Kobo has been naturally fermenting products since 2003 using a local strain of lactic acid bacteria

Suggested uses: Extremely versatile, this drink can be enjoyed as is (warm or chilled). Try adding it to coffee and cocktails or combine it with sparkling water or seltzer for a bubbly, refreshing beverage. The natural sweetness of amazake also works well in desserts. Try using it in mousses, sorbets, and even cakes! Looking for something savory? Add amazake to marinades and rubs as it helps to tenderize meat!
