Commemorating the 40th anniversary of its amazake (sweet sake), Morinaga has released a couple of sugary new products to help keep you cool this summer. Its Amazake Ice Cream (¥130) comes in a handy cup for easy sipping even as it starts to melt, while the Hiyashi Amazake Caramel (¥210) is an even sweeter twist on the spirited chilly treats. Available at supermarkets nationally, there’s no danger of a hangover with these low-alcohol treats—only an ice cream headache.
