Here’s an introduction to Marukome’s “Plus Koji Koji Amazake Apple.”

“Plus Koji Koji Amazake Apple” is an amazake made from rice koji.

This is a non-alcoholic, sugar-free amazake made with apple juice.


This amazake is a food product that meets infant food standards.
Foods Meeting Infant Formula Standards
“Foods subject to infant food standards” refers to products for which the standards for radioactive substances are classified under the “infant” category.This does not mean that the food is “suitable for babies” based on characteristics such as the nature or hardness of the ingredients; rather, it simply means that the standards for infants are applied solely with regard to radioactive substances.

Marukome manufactures and sells miso for home and commercial use, as well as instant miso soup.

The amazake comes in a paper carton with a white background and red lettering on the packaging.

Since it contains apple juice, the red color serves as an accent. It’s a collaboration design with “Penelope the Clumsy,” so it features an illustration of Penelope.
My thoughts on drinking amazake

The amazake poured into the cup is a milky white color with a faint yellow tint from the apple juice.


When I poured it into the cup, I caught a faint whiff of apples.

When I took a sip, a crisp and refreshing apple aroma and flavor spread across my palate, followed by a subtle sweetness reminiscent of rice koji amazake.
