Types of Amazake

There are two types of Amazake.

① Made with only koji and water (sometimes cooked rice is added)

② Made with sake lees, water and sugar

② Sake lees Amazake is often served at shrines and temples during the New Year holidays.
And it has still a bit of alcohol contained.

Both Amazake has different benefits to your body, but I often hear people say, "I hated it when I drank it as a child... I don't like amazake..."
It often the case they got the bad impression from drinking sake lees amazake especially as a child.

If you haven't tried amazake made with koji and water, please try it!
Also you may surprise trying both Amazake now and your taste buds got changed.

I like them both.
