The glucose contained in amazake is decomposed by the power of Aspergillus oryzae (koji mold), so the size of glucose is small enough to be absorbed directly from the small intestine. Therefore, the energy source can be efficiently absorbed in the body.

It is a sugar that does not need to be converted in the liver, so it immediately becomes a nutrient for cells and brain, and it can be expected to have effects such as improving fatigue and swelling, improving skin condition with vitamin Bs and amino acids, and it also improves bowel movements.
