This is a standard macrobiotic dessert recipe. Our family's version is very easy to make.
My husband's parents had given us some summer oranges, and I also had some homemade brown rice amazake, so I made this for the first time in quite a while.

Some commercial brown rice amazake is more grainy than others. If the grains bother you, grind them up into a smooth paste in a grinding bowl (mortar and pestle) or a food processor.
You can use undiluted apple juice or water instead of orange juice.
This is delicious served with diluted maple syrup. Recipe by Piyonofu

Steps

1

Put the ☆ ingredients in a small pan, and leave for a while to soak.
2

Peel the summer orange. I used this special orange-peeling gadget, that even removes the membranes.
3

Reserve a few segments to use as decoration, and finely shred the rest.
4

Heat up the small pan, and dissolve the kanten completely.
5

Add the amazake and mix. When it is bubbling, add the shredded up orange and salt. Mix, and turn off the heat.
6

Pour into containers and leave until set. They will set at room temperature, but if you are in a hurry set them in ice water or in the refrigerator.
7

Add the reserved orange segments before the jelly has set completely for a pretty finish.
8

When the jelly has set, garnish with mint leaves, pour a little apple or orange juice on top and they're done!
9

I made this in a silicone mold.
