Amazake is a traditional Japanese drink made from rice and koji, with a sweet taste. The koji version in this recipe contains no significant alcohol. Only amazake made from sake lees (sake kasu) contains some. You drink it warm or cold.
Ingredients
- 160 g cooked white rice
- 2 tbsp koji (rice fermented with a special mold)
- 960 ml water
Instructions
- Spread the cooked rice in a large pot.
- Sprinkle the koji evenly over the rice.
- Add the water and stir everything well.
- Warm the mixture to about 60 °C and keep it at 55 to 60 °C for 8 to 10 hours, for example in a rice cooker on the keep-warm setting. Stir now and then.
- After fermentation, press the amazake through a fine sieve to remove rice grains and larger particles.
- Pour the amazake into bottles and store it in a cool place. Stir before serving.
