Experience a cup of a traditional, low-alcohol Japanese beverage at home. This is freeze-dried amazake that you can instantly enjoy simply by mixing with water.
Amazake is a fermented rice drink made from sake kasu (sake lees) and kome koji (malted rice) with a slightly sweet flavor. Its texture is normally creamy, thick, and chunky (this comes from the rice grains).
Its freeze-dried processing means you can store this product for longer than normal liquid-type amazake.
Amazake is considered to be one of the most nutritious Japanese drinks because it is rich in B vitamins, dietary fiber, and folic acid.
Add a block of freeze-dried amazake to a cup, and pour 100ml of hot water into the cup.
Stir well with a spoon, and it is ready to drink.
This amazake can be served hot or cold. You can also enjoy amazake by adding milk to it instead of water.
You can also enjoy this beverage by adding grated ginger or lemon juice.

Not quite like I remember in the ryokan but a nice little drink in the afternoon or after a meal. Love the sweetness and richness.

Love how easy this amazake is to make and it tastes amazing. If you find it too sweet, just add more water. There's actual rice in the cube and it is very refreshing.
