Amazake

Amazake is a special drink that comes from Japan. It is made by mixing rice with water and a special type of mold called koji. This mixture is left to ferment for a while, which means that the mold turns the rice into a sweet and creamy drink.

Imagine making a cake mix - you have to mix different ingredients together, then bake it in the oven. That's a bit like how amazake is made, but instead of putting it in the oven, it is left to sit for a while so the mold can do its work.

Now, what does this drink taste like? Well, some people say it's like a sweet, creamy milk but without any animal products. That means that even if you can't drink regular milk, you might be able to drink amazake!

People like to drink amazake during the winter months because it is said to help keep you warm. It's also good for you because it has vitamins and minerals that are good for your body.

So, next time you're in Japan, you might want to try some amazake!
