Authentic Amazake (Sweet Rice Sake) with Rice Malt instructions
- Lightly rinse the uncooked rice, then put the rice and water in a pot, and steam until tender for 30 minutes to 1 hour. (If using a rice cooker, set it to the porridge setting.).
- Once it starts to steam, mix it to cool down to 65°C. Fill a thermos with boiling water to warm..
- Crush the rice malt into pieces, and thoroughly mix into the rice porridge. A few minutes after mixing it in, the glue-like consistency of the porridge will become smooth..
- If the mixture starts to get too cool, set the bowl on a double boiler, and reheat to 60°C while continuously stirring..
- Discard the hot water from the thermos, add the porridge, then keep warm. In order to evenly ferment the contents, lightly shake the thermos every 2 hours..
- It should be done after 8 to 10 hours. It's tasty either hot or cold. Enhance the taste with grated ginger and a pinch of salt..
- Store it in the refrigerator. Storing it at a low temperature will slow the fermentation. It will keep for 1 week. If stored for too long, the lactic acid will ferment and become acidic..
- If you want to store it for a long time, heat to 80 or 90°C, then store it in the freezer. It will keep for about 1 month without becoming sour..

- Another name for amazake is "drinkable IV", since it contains glucose, oligosaccharides, vitamin Bs, amino acids, folic acid, and other nutrients. It's recommended as a remedy for recovering from fatigue and regulating your digestive track..
- If you drink too much at once, it will spike your blood-sugar levels, so I recommend drinking only 100 ml at a time..
