Amazake Rice Nog is a NON-DAIRY, naturally sweetened drink made with organic brown rice. It has the flavor and thick creamy texture of traditional eggnog, without the eggs and with no added sweeteners.

The sweetness of Amazake comes from a natural process that breaks down the rice starch into simpler sugars, making Amazake an easily digestible, high energy food.

Rice Nog has no cholesterol and only 2 grams of fat per 8 oz. serving.

Rice Nog comes in 16 oz. and 32 oz. bottles, ready to serve for the holidays. Find it in the refrigerated section of your local health food store or supermarket.
