Rice and shine
We know of sake, but what about Amazake? Japanese for "sweet wine", Amazake is an alcohol-free beverage made from fermented rice, with no added sugar. It has been extolled as an all-round elixir for wellness and well-being.
It contains anti-oxidants that facilitate detoxing, and has a high Vitamin B6 content which helps reduces stress. Amazake is also lactose, dairy and gluten-free, and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
The beverage, which tastes like sweetened soya milk, can be drunk on its own, or mixed with cold-pressed juices or warm soya milk.
