What Is Amazake?
Amazake (which translates to "sweet sake") is a traditional Japanese drink made by fermenting cooked rice with koji culture. The koji breaks down the starches in the rice into natural sugars, creating a thick, creamy, naturally sweet liquid. Unlike sake, most amazake contains little to no alcohol and has been enjoyed in Japan for centuries as a nourishing drink, particularly during winter and at festivals.
Amazake is sometimes called "drinkable IV drip" in Japan because of its rich nutritional profile, which includes glucose, amino acids, and B vitamins that are easily absorbed by the body.
