In particular, the yogurt made from black rice contains dietary fiber twice that in the lactic-acid fermented milk.
The yogurt is created by fermenting embryo buds of rice and lactic acid bacteria together in the rice flour water.

"The yogurt made from rice has characteristics which are similar to those of the yogurt made with milk. We've confirmed that it (the yogurt made from rice) has better functionalities (for health) than the milk yogurt because it is rich in lysine, GABA, and dietary fiber."
A beer made with rice has already been on sale.
