Autumn Amazake (Japanese Pear)

With the release of this new seasonal product, we aim to bring smiles to our customers. The development of 'Sweet Rice Drink <Wagashi>' was inspired by the growing popularity of the fresh and refreshing taste of pears, which has been widely supported by many customers from summer to autumn. We developed this seasonal limited product by combining the beloved 'Morinaga Sweet Rice Drink' with the seasonal delicacy 'pear.' Using domestic Japanese pear juice, we created a rich flavor and gentle sweetness that is characteristic of Morinaga Sweet Rice Drink, and a taste that reflects the season. During the development process, we created over 20 prototypes. Since pears have a delicate flavor, when combined with the rich taste of sweet rice drink, the aroma and taste of pears could be difficult to detect. Therefore, we carefully adjusted the aroma and balance with the fruit flavor, and created over 20 prototypes. As a result, we achieved a taste that highlights the deep flavor of Morinaga Sweet Rice Drink, while the gentle flavor of Japanese pear spreads gently, creating a unique autumn limited taste. - Combines the deep flavor and gentle sweetness of sweet rice drink with the fresh sweetness and aroma of juicy pears, creating a seasonal taste. - Uses domestic Japanese pear juice (1% juice content) to achieve the fresh aroma and sweetness of pears. - Uses domestic sake lees and rice koji, two fermented ingredients. - Chill and enjoy it refreshingly.
