Here’s an introduction to Gekkeikan’s “Gekkeikan Chilled Amazake.”

“Gekkeikan Chilled Amazake” is a seasonal blend of amazake that is ideal for replenishing the salt your body tends to lose during the summer.


This amazake contains dietary fiber, which is often lacking in our diets.

One can of amazake contains 2.8 grams of dietary fiber.
- Blended Amazake Made with Sake Lees and Rice Koji
- Contains 2.8 g of dietary fiber
- Use salt
- Seasonal item
Founded in Kyoto, Japan, in 1637, the company manufactures and sells sake and liqueurs.

The package is the milky white color of amazake. In the center is an illustration of a single grain of rice, with the product name written inside it.

Since this is a summer-limited edition amazake, we’ve used the light blue color of the can—which evokes a cool summer—as an accent.

And since Gekkeikan is a sake brewery, the label features a delicate illustration of a sake brewery.
My thoughts on drinking amazake

As I pour the amazake into a cup, a refreshing, subtle aroma of sake lees wafts through the air.

Amazake is milky white in color, closer to white than what is shown in the photo.

When I scoop up some amazake with a spoon, I can tell it’s a smooth, thin amazake without any rice koji grains in it.

When I took a sip, I noticed a slightly thick texture, and compared to rice koji amazake, it had a stronger sake lees flavor with a gentle, mellow sweetness.

Gekkeikan’s amazake had a well-balanced flavor without any strong aftertaste, making it very easy to drink.
