Highlights
  • Naturally sweet drink made from fermented rice
  • Made from two simple and natural ingredients: rice and koji
  • Similar to sweet condensed milk

Amazake is a refreshingly sweet fermented rice drink that is slightly thick with a luxuriously smooth taste. Often offered at Shinto shrines as part of the New Year celebrations, it can also be enjoyed any time of year. Using a process similar to making sake, koji (aspergillus oryzae mold) is combined with cooled whole grain rice to create a naturally sweet, non-alcoholic drink. This special amazake is made from carefully selected rice from Kyushu and 100 year old rice koji. No other preservatives, sugar, nor salt is added. Expert craftsmen monitor the rice and water quality, temperature and humidity, which leads to a pure and natural tasting amazake.

Great quality and taste!

The balance of acidity and sweetness is very good. This works both in cold and warm but I love it to brink it cold.

Adds great flavor to recipes!

Everything at Kokoro Cares is of the highest quality. As I have a child with many life-threatening food allergies, I appreciate the website’s care in listing ingredients and the fact that Japanese food is of very high quality. Thank you for sharing these wonderful food items with the world!

Delicious!!

I love this amazaki in my tea or coffee, as well as on fruit or added to club water or sparkling water. It has a full, rich flavor, and I like that I can choose the strength of it when adding it. I am excited to try the brown rice amazaki now!
