Amazake isn't just for winter!
"Chilled Jiuqu Amazake" is a "freeze-dried" type amazake that is drunk by pouring cold water into it. It is made using the special rice jiuqu, and you can enjoy the original taste of rice and the refreshing sweetness. Also, because sake lees are not used, the alcohol content is 0.00%.
"Amazake" has a strong image of winter in modern times, but in the Edo period it was drunk as a measure against heat fatigue. It may be good to survive the heat with "summer amazake" this year.
