Is rice a drink?
"Miki" sold by Marumasa Family Trading Co., Ltd. (Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture) is a canned soft drink that is a mixture of sugar, glutinous rice, glutinous rice, and barley. It is said to be a drink that has been popular in Okinawa for a long time as a snack for children and as a nutritional supplement when they have no appetite.
... In other words, this is a " rice milk " -like drink that is said to be a "premonition of a hit this year" even if you eat it!
"Uruchi rice" and "glutinous rice" are the raw materials
I'm too worried about the taste, so I decided to buy it and drink it.
Shake well and then open the contents into a cup to find a thick beige drink ! You can also see the black lumps that look like barley.
It's not white
When you put it in your mouth, the scent of "freshly cooked rice" is just like the moment you open the rice cooker ...! The mellow and rich mouthfeel is similar to porridge and amazake. However, the rice is not crushed, so it is smooth and smooth. You can feel the fragrance in the refreshing sweetness that is not persistent (thanks to barley?).
It seems that you can drink in various ways!
In addition, when you break the awamori with this, it becomes a superb "rice milk split" that you will be surprised at! Both are made from rice, so do they resonate nicely? The peculiar habit of Awamori disappears and it becomes a little sweeter, and on the contrary, the thickness of "Miki" diminishes, and you can drink it as hard as you can!
I can't forget the "excellent" taste just by drinking it once, but I don't see "Miki" in the metropolitan area. However, it seems that you can easily purchase it by using mail order such as Amazon, so if you are interested, please order it and drink it!
