Fresh out of the incubator, ready to be turned into amazake 😋

Thanks to everyone who we saw today at the markets, and hope to see the rest of you tomorrow at Motueka Sunday Market!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for all of your tremendous support today at Nelson Market! 🍀
It’s great to see everyone enjoying the last warmth of summer before we hit autumn next week 🍁
Here’s a quick FAQ for the week;

Q. Is Amazake dairy/gluten free?

A. It sure is. Although we are not certified officially as gluten free, none of our products include food considered to have dairy or gluten in it. We produce all of our Amazake in our little kitchen by hand, with no chance of cross contamination under strict hygiene protocols and only having ingredients to use for Amazake.
Wheatgrass is also considered gluten free when harvested from a growing wheat plant without any seeds (which our wheatgrass is!)
So please let all of your dairy/gluten intolerant friends and family that they can be rest assured when having our super tasty and healthy drinks 💛

Stay safe everyone, and see you tomorrow at Motueka if we didn’t see you today at Nelson!
Hope you all have an amazing week ahead,

Love, Oryzae

☔️Hi everyone,

Bad weather for this weekend has unfortunately made us decide that we will not be opening our stall today at the Nelson Saturday Market😥
We’re sorry to anyone who we’ve missed today and apologise for any inconveniences.
Sorry it was last minute notice too!

We are however planning to open our stall at the Motueka Sunday Market tomorrow, so please come along even if the weather isn’t looking too bright 💧

Looking forward to seeing you all, and for the exciting news we talked about before, has been delayed however, we hope to share with you sometime next week!

Have a great weekend,

Love Oryzae P.S. To anyone who didn’t know, if you bring back your washed bottle back after your purchase, we will refund you 50c! 🍀

🚦 Market is still on! 🚦

Hi all,

Even with the traffic light turning red, both Nelson Saturday Market and Motueka Sunday Market is on!
There are strict measures on site to keep everyone safe, so while we do understand your concerns, it would be fantastic to see all of you this weekend.

Make sure to try all our flavours available- including the Premium Amazake. It’s fresh, unpasteurised, raw and packed with nutrition! Please give it a try 🥛

Make sure to bring your mask and scan in when you arrive at the market!
Can’t wait to see you all!

We also have an exciting news to share in the next few days… 🤫

Have a superb long weekend ☀️

Love, Oryzae

Our Amazake are made with extreme care and love.
The whole process takes a whopping whole three days. There are countless steps taken from a grain of rice to a flavourful naturally sweet drink.
Because they’re living organisms, steamed rice mixed with Koji (Culture responsible for the breaking down of rice into glucose) needs to be gently turned and placed in an incubator for the Koji to grow and make blocks of grains stuck together. This is a sign that the Koji is growing well and a sweet Amazake can be made.

Your drink is packed with millions of enzymes to nourish your body.
With love and care, we pride in providing you with the tastiest super drink you’ll ever have! ❤️

We can’t wait to see you at either Nelson Saturday Market or Motueka Sunday Market this weekend as usual!

Love, Oryzae
