Treat yourself to this rich, non-alcoholic Japanese rice drink blended with roasted black sesame seeds. Black sesame seeds contain calcium, iron and magnesium and are believed to support skin health, energy and digestion. With its deep, toasty flavour and natural sweetness, it’s a great alternative to coffee or sugary drinks.
Amazake is made using rice koji (rice that has been inoculated with koji mould), which naturally breaks down rice starches into sugars, giving amazake its natural sweetness without added sugar. Regularly drinking amazake is believed to improve digestion and boost energy levels due to its rich vitamin and enzyme content.
