AMAZAKE

Amazake is a Japanese fermented food that has been enjoyed for many years because of its nutritious benefits. It is not only high in nutrients such as vitamin B, essential amino acids and naturally occurring glucose, but also boosts immunity, improves gut health, and has anti-aging effects. Let’s review the nutritional components of Amazake.

  1. EnzymesNon-pasteurized amazake made from Koji contains over 100 kinds of enzymes. The enzymes encourage the digestion very well, so you need it to break down fat, sugar, etc etc.

  2. VitaminsAmazake is rich in Vitamins. There are the reason why Amazake is called as anti aging foods.
    ・Vitamin B1: Fatigue recovery, Stress relief
    ・Vitamin B2: Maintaining tissues 
    ・Vitamin B6: Maintaining immune function and mental stability
    ・Niacin: Supporting the nervous system, digestive system and skin 
    ・Folic acid: Helping red blood cell formation
    ・Pantothenic acid: Maintaining skin and hair health
    ・Biotin: Accelerating skin cell metabolism, improving skin and hair health

  3. Essential Amino AcidsEssential amino acids cannot be made by the body and must be taken from food. Amazake contains 9 kinds of all essential amino acids. Essential amino acids  improve mood and sleep, increase metabolism, alleviate fatigue and stimulate muscle recovery after exercise, etc.

  4. ErgothioneineErgothioneine is one of the amino acids. It is a powerful antioxidant, protects skin cells from oxidative damage and is anti-aging.

  5. Kojic AcidKojic acid is only made from Koji. It inhibits the production of melanin in the skin, helping to reduce skin discoloration and can be found in cosmetic products. It is also high in antioxidants and good for anti-aging.

  6. Ferulic AcidFerulic acid also is a powerful antioxidant. It has UV absorption properties and suppresses photo-aging of the skin.
       
  7. OligosaccharideOligosaccharide is produced by an enzyme of Koji. Oligosaccharide will reach the intestine without being digested by the stomach. It becomes food for beneficial bacteria in the intestine. 

  8. Dietary Fiber　
    Koji Amazake contains a lot of dietary fiber, so it can improve the intestinal environment and improve bowel movements and elimination.

KOJI-KIMUCHI

KIMUCHI is originally from south Korea, but in japan, we eat a lot.( sometimes more than SUSHI I would say).

Our KIMUCHI is different from Korea’s kimuchi, in terms of the level of spicy and the ingredients.

I make KIMUCHI with home made KOJI, to encourage the fermentation and the mild taste. I do not use fish sauce or shrimps as normally do.

We love to eat with rice, or noodle, or just as it is accompanied with beer.
