Morinaga is a company engaged in the manufacturing, procurement, and sale of confectionery (such as caramel, biscuits, and chocolate), food products (such as cocoa and cake mixes), frozen desserts (such as ice cream), and health products (such as jelly drinks).

The top of the can is a subtle cream color reminiscent of white peaches, while the bottom is a soft shade of pink reminiscent of peaches.
The center of the can also features a watercolor illustration of a juicy peach.

The background of the illustration on the amazake can features plum blossoms, a symbolic motif of Morinaga Amazake. Since this is peach amazake, the flowers are rendered in shades of pink and yellow reminiscent of white peaches, giving the design a very cute look.
My thoughts on drinking amazake

The moment I pour the amazake into the cup, a gentle, sweet scent of peaches wafts through the air.
The subtle, gentle scent of peaches is very pleasant.

As soon as I took a sip, the sweet aroma of peaches filled my mouth. It was an amazake that offered a refreshing, light peach sweetness alongside the flavor of rice koji.

Because it contains white peach juice, it’s fruitier than standard amazake and feels more like a dessert—I found it to be very easy to drink.
