Here’s an introduction to Morinaga’s “Amazake Ginger.”

“Amazake Ginger” is an amazake made from a blend of rice koji and sake lees.

This is a blended amazake that contains ginger.

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 amazake comes in a red can.

The background features plum blossoms, a signature motif of Morinaga Amazake.
My thoughts on drinking amazake

The amazake poured into the cup is a milky white color, almost white.

As I poured the amazake into a cup, the scent of ginger wafted through the air.

I scooped up some amazake with a spoon.

It contains a few small, soft grains of rice.

When I took a sip, the sweetness of the amazake—a blend of sake lees and rice koji—spread across my palate along with the flavor of ginger.
