Tanika Electric's First In-House Manufactured Food: 'Tanika no Amazake'

'Tanika no Amazake' is a straight-type amazake (sweet sake) made using a proprietary blend of 8 enzymes extracted from rice koji and Gifu Prefecture-grown Koshihikari rice 'Himekuri Tazawa Rice' cultivated by contract farmers. It is characterized by its natural sweetness derived from rice without added sugar, and a smooth, clear texture with no graininess.

Why a Fermenter Manufacturer Makes Amazake

Tanika has previously proposed products and recipes for easily enjoying fermented foods at home through its 'Yogurtia' series.

The final quality of fermented foods changes with slight differences in ingredients, temperature, and time. That is why Tanika has honed its temperature control technology, crucial for fermented foods, over many years to enable stable fermentation at home.

On the other hand, there are many people who are interested in fermented foods but find it difficult to make them from scratch every day.

'Tanika no Amazake' was born from the desire to allow people to 'enjoy a life with fermentation more easily.'

Product Highlights: Proprietary 8 Enzymes Extracted from Rice Koji

Unlike common amazake that uses rice koji or sake lees directly, 'Tanika no Amazake' uses a proprietary blend of 8 enzymes extracted from rice koji.

These enzymes act on the starch and protein in the rice, drawing out the natural sweetness from the rice. The gentle sweetness felt even without adding sugar is due to the enzymes carefully breaking down the rice components.

Use of Single-Origin Rice 'Himekuri Tazawa Rice' Grown by Contract Farmers

The rice used in 'Tanika no Amazake' is Gifu Prefecture-grown Koshihikari 'Himekuri Tazawa Rice' cultivated by contract farmers. The rice is grown in the nature-rich area of Kasagi-cho, Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, at an altitude of approximately 370 meters.

Instead of blending rice from multiple farmers or varieties, Tanika uses single-origin rice grown by contract farmers. By leveraging the flavor of the rice itself, they have created an amazake that offers a gentle, natural sweetness without the need for sugar.

Watching Over the Temperature, Taking Time to Prepare

Choosing good ingredients is not the only important factor in making amazake. To fully extract the power of the rice and enzymes, it is essential to maintain a temperature at which the enzymes can work effectively, without rushing, and taking ample time.

'Tanika no Amazake' is prepared in-house at their own factory using uniquely developed temperature control equipment. Applying the temperature control philosophy cultivated as a fermenter manufacturer to food production, they slowly draw out the sweetness while maintaining an optimal environment for the rice and enzymes to work.

Sugar-Free. A Simple Amazake Easy to Continue Every Day

'Tanika no Amazake' draws out the natural sweetness of the rice without adding sugar.

With 0.0% alcohol content, it can be enjoyed by the whole family, from children to adults. It can be incorporated into various scenes, such as a morning drink, an afternoon snack, after a bath, or a warm drink before bed.

A straight-type amazake that can be chilled and drunk as is.
