Hakkaisan “Amazake Made from Koji”

Here’s an introduction to Hakkaisan’s “Amazake Made from Koji.”

M

“Amazake Made from Koji” is a rice koji amazake.

M

This amazake is made without any sugar at all; its mild sweetness comes from the starch in the rice koji being converted into sugar.

M

The amazake is made from rice polished to 60%.

M

The milling rate is the percentage of the rice that remains after milling (removing the outer layer from brown rice). It is said that the higher the milling rate, the less off-flavor the rice has.

Rice Polishing Ratio

The rice polishing ratio is a ratio that indicates the degree to which rice has been polished.

Heisei 1 National Tax Agency Notice No. 8, “Matter Concerning the Establishment of Standards for the Manufacturing Methods and Quality Labeling of Sake” (November 22, 1989), stipulates the following:

“The term ‘polishing ratio’ refers to the ratio, by weight, of white rice (which means rice from which the outer layers, such as bran and germ, have been removed from brown rice, and includes white rice used in the production of rice koji; the same applies hereinafter) to the weight of the corresponding brown rice.”

My thoughts on drinking amazake

I opened the lid of the single-serving container.

M

When I opened the lid, I was greeted by the gentle aroma of rice koji amazake.

M

When I took a sip, the amazake had a smooth texture, and its refreshing sweetness spread throughout my mouth.
