Furumachi Koji Seizosho “Koji Hojicha”

Here’s an introduction to Furumachi Koji Seizosho’s “Koji Hojicha.”

“Koji Hojich” is an amazake made from rice koji.

This is a non-alcoholic, sugar-free amazake made with hojicha leaves. It’s an autumn-limited edition amazake.

This amazake is made with Japanese tea leaves that have been specially roasted to ensure they pair well with koji and to prevent any unpleasant bitterness.
- Rice Koji Amazake
- Made with Japanese-grown hojicha tea leaves
- Non-alcoholic
- No sugar added
- For a limited time
Recognizing the wonders of koji, the company opened a specialty koji store in Furumachi, Niigata, in 2009.

The amazake comes in a glass bottle with a deep green lid.

The amazake was 500 ml, and I enjoyed it by drinking it in several servings.

Since the amazake is hojicha-flavored, the glass bottle contains tea leaves and features a label with autumn foliage—a limited-edition design for the fall season.

Furumachi Koji Seizosho is known not only for its amazake but also for its amazake-based sweets, which feature unique and adorable labels.

Here is a list of amazake labels.
My thoughts on drinking amazake

The amazake I poured into a cup is milky white with a hint of green and a slight astringency.


The moment I poured it into the cup, the aroma of hojicha wafted through the air.

I scooped up some amazake from the cup with a spoon.

It was a sweet rice drink with no visible grains and a smooth, gentle texture.

As soon as I took a sip, I detected the subtle sweetness of rice koji amazake. Then, almost immediately, I noticed the rich, full-bodied aroma and flavor of hojicha in the amaza
