Amazaké

Pronounced ah-mah-ZAH-kay, the word literally means “sweet sake”. It is a delicious, creamy hot rice drink with a “…rich, ambrosial flavor…most popular during the winter months, especially at New Year’s. Rich in natural sugars, it has long served as a sweetening agent in Japanese cookery.” (1) It can be used in place of sugar in many recipes, and is especially nice for baking.
