📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A gelato made with no sugar or dairy, relying solely on the natural sweetness and richness of amazake, an ancient Japanese fermented drink. The idea is to use koji mold's fermentation, which converts rice starch into sugar, directly as the dessert's sweetness — an attempt to create a new sweet entirely within Japan's fermentation culture. The freezing method borrows from gelato, but the flavor's backbone is purely Japanese fermentation.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a veranda in summer, savoring cold amazake gelato little by little to cool off — a simple snack time.
