Amazake by ICHIBIKI – Traditional Japanese Sweet Rice Drink
Amazake Point 01 – What is Amazake?
ICHIBIKI Amazake is a traditional Japanese fermented drink made from rice and rice koji (a culture used in fermentation). This version is called “Koji Amazake”, meaning it’s made purely from rice fermentation without any alcohol.
Amazake Point 02 – Naturally Sweet & Sugar-Free
The sweetness comes entirely from the natural fermentation process, where rice starch is converted into sugars by koji enzymes—no sugar is added. It’s gently sweet and mild in flavor.
Amazake Point 03 – 0% Alcohol, Safe for Everyone
Unlike some other types of Amazake made with sake lees (a byproduct of sake brewing), this product contains no alcohol. It’s perfect for children, pregnant women, and anyone avoiding alcohol.
Amazake Point 04 – A Nutritious “Drinkable IV Drip”
In Japan, Amazake is sometimes called a “drinkable IV drip” or “beauty drink” because it’s naturally rich in nutrients from rice fermentation.
Amazake Point 05 – Versatile in Use
Enjoy it warm or chilled as a drink, or use it as a healthy substitute for sugar in sweets, smoothies, or cooking.
