My first experience with amazake was in Japan about 2 years ago. We went to visit the Matsumoto samurai castle and after the visit we popped in the gift shop too. I always wanted to try amazake so we bought a small bottle of it that I found in the refrigerated shelf. At that time I had no idea what to expect but I was open for anything. As I found out after I consumed it, that particular type was made with sake kasu and it didn’t became my favourite drink that time.
Tofu dango tofu rice balls are very popular traditional Japanese wagashi. Wagashi itself means Japanese confectionery that based mostly on plants and often served with tea. I was very lucky to sample lots of them while we were in Japan. It’s consumed all year around and has lots of varieties.
