We want to incorporate as many healthy foods as possible into our daily lives. How wonderful it would be to celebrate special occasions with delicious and healthy foods. Chami, who holds fermentation and dim sum cooking classes at her home, will teach us various seasonal recipes with the theme of "fermentation x celebration." Last time, she taught us how to make amazake with rice, and this time we will introduce some recipe variations using that amazake!


If you have some sweet sake made with rice, we'll show you how to make "Sweet sake marinated cherry tomatoes" in no time!
Peel the cherry tomatoes. You can use a blender to make the amazake soft and smooth, or you can leave it as it is with some grains in it.
Mix lemon juice and amazake together, then mix with peeled cherry tomatoes. So simple! And it's done! It's creamy and delicious!
The gentle sweetness and lemon juice make it refreshing and very delicious! The cherry tomatoes are fruity and you can eat as much as you want. It would also be good as a side dish for curry, a dessert, or a snack. The sweetness is gentle on the body, so it's safe for children.
Next, we will introduce the delicious chewy "Shiratama Kinako Dessert."
For this recipe, all you need to do is make the shiratama and mix in the kinako and amazake. Adjust the amount of kinako and amazake to your liking.
The kinako becomes paste-like and is easy to eat, with a gentle sweetness that makes it delicious. Because it is in paste form, it is safe for the elderly. Adding a little salt when mixing the kinako will enhance the flavor. Adding soy sauce to the amazake makes it taste like mitarashi dango. You can enjoy it in a variety of different ways.
◆ Amazake is like a drinkable IV drip! ◆
Amazake contains a wealth of nutrients, similar to those found in IV drips, such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, oligosaccharides, dietary fiber, amino acids, and glucose. It can improve your intestinal environment, and is expected to have beauty benefits and relieve fatigue. This time, we are making amazake with raw koji, so it can be safely incorporated into the diet of pregnant women and small children.
Just "Amazake made with rice" seems to open up a wide variety of recipes. Being able to celebrate a special day with your family while incorporating foods that are good for your body feels very rich. Please try making "Amazake made with rice" yourself. Please look forward to the next "Chami-san's Kitchen" ♪

Using fermented koji seasoning, it's easy to make delicious dishes.
We offer dishes that will help keep your intestines and mind in good health.
