Amazake
Amazake is a traditional Japanese fermented rice drink made with koji (Aspergillus oryzae) that is sweet, creamy, and very low in alcohol (or alcohol-free, depending on preparation). It has been given to nursing mothers for centuries in Japan as a nourishing, energy-giving tonic. Look for shiokoji-type amazake (koji-made, not sake lees) for a version that is genuinely alcohol-free.
📈Traditional Japanese galactagogue; modern evidence is limited but it is nutritionally supportive.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
