Re: soy vs. amasake

[Guest guest]

While I was googling Amasake, I came across a lot of info about what it is, but little on where to get it. Here are some things I found. One definition, and a couple of websites. Hope this helps.

Peace, love, laughter

Amasake

Amasake is a traditional Japanese product made by fermenting sweet brown rice into a thick liquid. It is a creamy, quickly digested beverage used by athletes after a workout or as a sweetener in cooking or baking.

Hmmmm,

I've never seen it powdered...it comes in those rectangular cartons on

the shelf with the soy, rice, oat and nut milks.

Here's a concentrate...

or

You can make your own....

Note 5: You can make your home made amasake in a yogurt maker if you

prefer this over the commercial brands. Simply cook 1 ½ cups of Sweet

Brown Rice with 4 ½ cups of water. Bring to a boil then simmer and

cover for 40 minutes. Let cool to 110 degrees F (use candy

thermometer). Mix in ¾ cups koji yeasted rice, and place in pre-warmed

yogurt maker. Allow to incubate for 8 – 10 hours. Add the amasake

mixture to a pot with 1 cup of water and a pinch of sea salt and

simmer low for 10 minutes. This can then be blended and stored in a

jar in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. It may get too sour to use

if you keep it any longer.

Note 6: A very healthy beverage that is similar to the " idea " of

commercial energy drinks can be made by combining equal parts of

amasake with freshly squeezed carrot juice. A little powdered barley

grass (1 teaspoon) and ¼ teaspoon of blue/green algae will help

provide vitamin B-12.
