As we say goodbye to the Olympics (at least for now), we are also saying goodbye to Japan (again, at least for now). So for my last Japan focused newsletter I'd like to introduce you to one of my favourite drinks: amazake. While most wouldn't consider this sweet drink made from fermented rice to be a hot chocolate, I do. It is warm and nourishing and when I make it at home I add chocolate to it anyways (so there you go).
