For those of you who are unfamiliar with this product, Amazake, translated “sweet sake” is a deliciously thick and creamy traditional Japanese dessert made from fermented grains. Traditionally given to those needing a little more strength and vitality. Served warm on a cold winters day, amazake is very nourishing and can be used to sweeten desserts, cakes, puddings and we enjoy it simply stirred into our porridge or spread onto sourdough bread.
