Yamato was founded in Japan by a team of fermentation masters who saw a problem: modern life makes it hard to feel your best. They created this Genmai Brown Rice Amazake to be a simple, clean source of natural energy and gut support, using a 300-year-old fermentation method. Every bottle starts with 100% Japanese-grown brown rice, fermented for over 72 hours to unlock its nutrients without adding a single gram of sugar.

This dedication to purity and tradition is why it's consistently a top-ranked fermented drink in its category, trusted by thousands for daily wellness.

Yamato Genmai Brown Rice Amazake is a fermented sugar-free beverage crafted from a select blend of ingredients that contribute to its nutritional profile and traditional preparation. The primary ingredient is genmai (brown rice), which undergoes a fermentation process using koji (Aspergillus oryzae), a beneficial mold that breaks down the rice's starches into simpler sugars and enhances digestibility. This fermentation not only imparts a naturally sweet flavor without added sugars but also produces enzymes and probiotics that support gut health. Water is included as the base liquid to achieve the desired consistency, while a small amount of salt may be added to balance flavors and act as a natural preservative. The absence of artificial sweeteners, additives, or preservatives aligns with its health-focused formulation. Benefits of this drink include providing a source of natural energy from complex carbohydrates, promoting digestive wellness through fermentation-derived probiotics, and offering a low-glycemic alternative to sugary beverages, making it suitable for those seeking a wholesome, traditional Japanese drink.
