amazake, ama zake 甘酒 (あまざけ, 醴 )
"over night drink", hitoyazake 一夜酒（ひとよざけ）
vendor of sweet ama zake, amazake uri 甘酒売（あまざけうり）
shop selling sweet ama zake, amazakeya 甘酒屋（あまざけや）
sweet alcoholic drink made from fermented rice
Made from fermented glutinous rice gruel and yeast, letting it ferment for about six to eight hours. Its alcohol content is quite low, therefore it is a favorite with the ladies of my neighbourhood. They also use the amazake mix we can by at the store to make soup or boil chicken and vegetables in it.
The basic recipe for amazake has been used for hundreds of years. Kōji is added to cooled whole grain rice causing enzymes to break down the carbohydrates into simpler unrefined sugars. As the mixture incubates, sweetness develops naturally.
Amazake can be used as a dessert, snack, natural sweetening agent, baby food, salad dressing or smoothie. The traditional drink (prepared by combining amazake and water, heated to a simmer, and often topped with a pinch of finely grated ginger) was popular with street vendors, and it is still served at inns and teahouses. Many Shinto shrines provide or sell this in the New Year. In the 20th century, an instant version became available.
Amazake is believed to be very nutritious, with no additives, preservatives, added sugars or salts. Outside of Japan, it is often sold in health food shops.
It is often considered a hangover cure in Japan.
