Amazake (1 lb)

Ingredients: Rice Koji, Rice, Water [Gluten & Soy-Free]

Amazaké literally means "sweet sake” and is the base for sake. But before it turns into that famous alcohol, Amazake is an all natural, low sugar sweetener that can create amazing fruit shakes or be turned into its own thick, cream, natural beverage. In fact it can be used in place of sugar in many recipes!

Cooked mochi rice is combined with rice koji and left to incubate for several hours. The enzyme amylases breaks down the complex starches into easily-digestible simple sugars. To enjoy as a drink mix one part amazake concentration with two or three parts of water.

Fermentation time : 10 hours + heating
