[Purely Original] Kyushu no Takumi Amazake 250g

[Kyushu-grown naturally grown rice fermented with natural bacteria in the brewery]

This is a very precious "amazake" (sweet sake) made from naturally grown rice from Kyushu, which is saccharified using natural bacteria in the brewery of Marukawa Miso in Fukui Prefecture.

Its refreshing sweetness makes it delicious even for children. It is also recommended to mix it with hot water in the cold season, and to add ice to chill it in the summer. You can also use it in cooking instead of sugar.

It gives off a deep sweetness.

In Japan, miso and other fermented foods became more common after the war as mass production and the economy took priority. As a result, natural fermentation bacteria were replaced by pure cultured bacteria, and the number of breweries that use natural bacteria has now fallen to almost zero.

In the midst of all this, Marukawa Miso, at the request of Dr. Motoharu Miyoshi, a clinical environmental physician, and Hideo Kawana, the representative of "Tokyo Natural Harmony," a partner store of Purely, began working on reviving "natural koji mold," and they were a great success!!!

Marukawa Miso is probably the only brewery in Japan that brews miso using natural fermentation bacteria.

We hope you will support the artisans who continue to cherish and preserve this technique and the good old ways by eating this food.

"Amazake" is also a fermented food. Nowadays, most amazake is mass-produced using pure cultured bacteria.

Originally, amazake is made by adding koji to rice and allowing it to turn into sugar.

The amazake brewed here at Marukawa Miso is brewed using natural fermentation bacteria in our brewery, so the bacteria are still alive.

Furthermore, unlike "pure cultures" which extract a single type of bacteria, a wide variety of bacteria are active together, resulting in a wider range of flavors and a deep, gentle taste. Of course, live bacteria also have a positive effect on the human body.

There are many necessary substances called "biologically active substances" that are active.

(※Occasionally, black dots may be found in the amazake. These are caused when stink bugs eat the organically grown, pesticide-free rice. Please rest assured that this does not affect the quality of the amazake. If you are concerned about the product, we will exchange it for a new one. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your understanding in advance.)
