Natural fermented -Amasake
The Koji Amazake has been recognized as a functionally labeled food while preserving its traditional production method and taste. Koji, made from highly polished rice utilizing sake brewing techniques, brings forth a clean and refreshing taste without any unwanted flavors. By solely utilizing the starch of koji without adding any sugar, a gentle sweetness is extracted, reflecting the commitment to excellent koji-making unique to Hakusan. It results in an elegant finish.
This product contains the koji fungus strain Aspergillus oryzae HJ1 and koji-derived glucosylceramide. The Aspergillus oryzae HJ1 strain helps regulate the intestinal environment and improve bowel movements. Koji-derived glucosylceramide functions to help protect the moisture of the skin. Please consume approximately 118g per day (equivalent to one small bottle) as a guide.
We seek the better drinking experience. Reduce the sugar content by 30% made it lighter texture and easily to drink. We use the same ingredients and method to make original amazake, the sweetness is coming from the same natural fermentation of carbohydrate converted into glucose. High quality Koji created by Sake brewer brings out clean but complexed flavor.
Both types have different health benefits and while we can’t really say which is healthier than the other, in Japan, Koji Amazake is gaining more popularity of late due to its zero alcohol content and natural sweetness.
