Koji rice for amazake

Our Craft Koji Rice is meticulously inoculated with koji spore (Aspergillus oryzae), designed to produce a higher quantity of amylase—an enzyme crucial for breaking down starch. This specialized koji rice is perfect for creating Amazake, the traditional Japanese sweet rice drink known for its natural sweetness and nutritional benefits. The fermentation process of our craft koji rice enhances its enzymatic activity, resulting in a potent source of amylase that efficiently converts rice starch into simple sugars. This makes it an ideal ingredient for homemade Amazake, as well as for enhancing the flavor and texture of other fermented foods and beverages.
