Life Koji Australia | Small Koji, Big Life Change 
Amazake is a traditional Japanese fermented rice drink made with koji (rice malt).
It’s naturally sweet — no sugar added, no alcohol — just the power of fermentation.
Made only from rice, koji, and water, our amazake is rich in enzymes and amino acids that gently nourish your body and mind.
There are two main kinds of amazake in Japan:
① Rice Koji Amazake (Life Koji’s Style)
- Made from rice and koji fermentation
- Non-alcoholic, sugar-free, gluten-free
- Naturally sweet and gentle for all ages
② Sake Lees (kasu)Amazake
- Made by mixing sake lees with hot water and sugar
- May contain a small amount of alcohol
- Has a stronger aroma and deeper flavor
💛 Life Koji Amazake is 100% Rice-Koji type.
Crafted in Melbourne with love.
At Life Koji, we believe fermentation connects people, nature, and culture.
Amazake is more than a drink — it’s a gentle ritual that brings warmth, balance, and vitality to your everyday life.
