I’ve also used the Grainnaissance amazake for baking… My friend got the koji, but you can buy it on etsy or from GEM cultures online!

I love amazake but I’ve only had the one from Grainnaissance. Where do you get the koji? I’d love to try and make some.

I tend to associate horchata with lime and cinnamon flavors, and amazake definitely has a unique flavor due to the fermentation and its natural sweetness, but they do have a similar creamy rice flavor to them (depending on how thick or thin you like your horchata). They’re both equally delicious, but each one has their own thing going on! This is definitely an easy thing to ferment, so I recommend checking it out if you’re up to it!

Both are good; I like the “freshness” and subtlety of homemade though

Thanks for the info on amazake! Is the drink anything like horchata? I am really into fermentation and will have to try this some day.
