Amazake
A traditional Japanese sweetened beverage made from rice koji. It is an ingredient of sake, but does not contain alcohol at this stage. The B vitamins in amazake help with sugar metabolism and fat burning. It is also expected to improve high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol levels.
Onsen Eggs
The yolk is semi-cooked and the egg white is softer than the yolk. This exquisite firmness, which is different from that of a half-boiled egg, is due to the difference in temperature at which the yolk and the white harden, and is called “onsen eggs” because it can be made simply by soaking it in a hot spring at 149-154°F for about 30 minutes.
