[Miyagi Prefecture] Enjoy it because it is a rice-producing region! Delicious amazake from the prefecture!

Miyagi Prefecture is famous for its rice production.
According to statistics for 2015, Miyagi Prefecture's cultivated land area ranks 8th in Japan. Of these, when it comes to rice fields, it boasts the fourth largest area in Japan.

Amazake is a specialty product that we would like to recommend because it is such a rice-producing region. Amazake is a highly nutritious drink that has recently attracted attention as a ``drinkable infusion'', but if you're going to drink it anyway, you want to drink something delicious, right?

There are two types of amazake: one made from ``sake lees'' and one made from ``rice malt.'' Since this is a rice-producing region, you'll definitely want to drink amazake made from rice koji!

So this time, I would like to introduce some delicious amazake from Miyagi Prefecture that I recommend!

Akiu amazake “Hanabaren” (Ocha no Igata)

The original amazake ``Hanabaren'' sold at Akiu Village Agrier Forest is characterized by its ease of drinking.

Amazake made from rice malt is known for its odorless and easy-to-drink nature, but ``Hanabaren'' has been designed to be even easier to drink. Although it's sweet, it's refreshing and doesn't leave your mouth feeling sticky. What's more, you can enjoy the sweetness even when it's cold, so it's also recommended after a bath.

We have a variety of sizes available, including one-cup bottles, three-bottle sets, and 720ml bottles, so please enjoy Akiu's new specialty!

Amazake (Ichinokura)

a rice malt amazake that is proudly offered by Miyagi's leading sake brewery, Ichinokura, and is
characterized by its retort pouch-like packaging. It can be said that the biggest advantage of this package is that you can easily enjoy drinking amazake in a variety of ways.

In addition to the usual way of drinking by heating it in a pot of hot water and pouring it out into a separate container, you can also chill it in the refrigerator and enjoy it in the bag using the included straw, or freeze it in the bag and eat it as sherbet by pushing it with your fingers. It would be good too. If you want to discover a new charm of amazake, be sure to try Ichinokura's "Amazake"!

The amazake latte at Date Cafe O'der, located inside Sendai Station, uses amazake made in Ichinokura. This is an attractive drink with a refreshing taste and a variety of flavors.
