Morinaga “Morinaga’s Gentle Rice Koji Amazake”

Here’s an introduction to Morinaga’s “Morinaga’s Gentle Rice Koji Amazake.”

“Morinaga’s Mild Rice Koji Amazake” is an amazake made from rice koji.

While most of Morinaga’s amazake products are made from a blend of sake lees and rice koji—a double-fermented mixture—this new product is made exclusively from rice koji.

This is a simple amazake made with nothing but rice koji and salt.

Package Design

The amazake comes in a white paper package. It features a pink design accented with small illustrations of golden rice grains.

The product name is outlined in gold; since this is rice koji amazake, the outline is shaped like a grain of rice.

My thoughts on drinking amazake

The amazake poured into the cup is milky white.

This amazake is made with rice koji, so it has a milky white color, but Morinaga’s other amazake products are made from a blend of rice koji and sake lees, which gives them their characteristic snow-white color.

As I poured the amazake into the cup, I caught a faint whiff of the rice koji amazake.

It was an amazake that, as soon as I took a sip, filled my mouth with the gentle sweetness of rice koji amazake.
