Amazake (甘酒, [amazake]) is a traditional sweet, low- or non-alcohol (depending on recipes) Japanese drink made from fermented rice. Amazake dates from the Kofun period, and it is mentioned in the Nihon Shoki. It is part of the family of traditional Japanese foods made using koji and the koji mold Aspergillus oryzae (麹 kōji) that includes miso, soy sauce, and sake. Similar beverages include the Chinese jiuniang, Korean sikhye, and Vietnamese cơm rượu. In grape winemaking, must – sweet, thick, unfermented grape juice – is a similar product.
