Composition
No public dataset carries sake kasu, the pressed solid left behind when sake is filtered from its mash. These figures follow food-composition values compiled in Japanese consumer nutrition references (Calorie Slism) rather than a primary dataset, so they are stated with less confidence than a USDA figure; sugar is left off because no source separates it from the wider carbohydrate figure. The alcohol is real rather than symbolic: kasu still carries roughly the strength of a light beer, which is what keeps this form of amazake off the zero-proof list, unlike the koji form. The density is an estimate for a soft, moist paste close to water, marked accordingly, since it is needed to compute the alcohol this Form carries and no measured figure exists.
