"amazake" has the image of New Year's and winter, but it is a seasonal word for summer.

Rice koji amazake, also known as "drinking drip", breaks down glucose by koji mold, so it can efficiently absorb energy into the body. And since it contains amino acids and minerals, it is a fine nutritional drink.

The old people had a good understanding of amazake, so in the Edo period, sweet liquor stores sold in town as a drink to prevent summer batter became a specialty.

That's why amazake has become a seasonal word for summer.
