Amazake is a thick and creamy paste, traditionally used in Japan as an ingredient for drinks and desserts, consisting of a mixture of boiled sweet rice with koji culture, left to ferment.

Koji - boiled rice and / or soybeans, to which was added a fermentation culture with the Latin name of Aspergillus oryzae, used for the preparation of fermented foods, the traditional ones being soy sauce, miso, mirin and sake.

The natural sweet aroma of this dessert is due to the simple sugars in which the carbohydrates from whole rice are transformed, within a production process that respects the tradition.
