Collection: Alcohol -free Japanese drinks

The most popular Japanese Drinks include a wide variety of traditional teas and drinks. Among the best known, the green tea (Sencha) is very popular for its health benefits. THE matcha, a powdered green tea used in the tea ceremony is also extremely popular. Other current drinks are theAmazake, a soft drink made from fermented rice, and ramune, a refreshing sparkling drink often consumed during summer festivals. Finally, the yuzu, a Japanese citrus, is used to prepare refreshing drinks with a unique taste.

L'Amazake is a traditional Japanese drink based on fermented rice. Literally translated as "sweet sake", Amazake is actually an alcohol -free drink or with very little alcohol, depending on the preparation method. It is naturally soft thanks to the koji enzymes which decompose the starch of the rice into sugars. The Amazake is hot or cold, often in winter as a comforting drink. It can also be used as an ingredient in desserts or sauces. The Amazake is rich in nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids, and is popular for its benefits for digestion.

Ramune is an emblematic Japanese sparkling drink, often associated with summer festivals. What distinguishes Ramune is its unique packaging: a glass bottle sealed by a glass ball, which must be pushed down to open the drink. This distinctive mechanism has become a symbol of Japanese pop culture. Ramune is available in several flavors, ranging from classic lemon to more exotic options such as melon or grapes. Although mainly appreciated for its sweet and refreshing taste, Ramune is also a nostalgic memory for many Japanese.

THE alcohol -free Japanese drinks are often characterized by delicate and natural flavors. Green tea, like sencha and matcha, offers vegetable notes and Umami. Yuzu drinks provide refreshing acidity, while the Amazake is soft and creamy with a slight fermentation note. The ramune, on the other hand, is sweet and sparkling, available in a variety of flavors ranging from lemon to melon. The Hojicha, with its smoked taste, and Genmaicha, with its grilled rice notes, add additional dimensions to the Japanese drinking options.
