Several Albanian-language online media outlets have shared an article titled "The Japanese secret against aging, this is the liquid that grants eternal youth."
This article states that rice water reduces inflammation, has a healing effect, and also fights skin signs that come with aging, but despite this, this text lacks the source of the information.

The Japanese secret against aging, this is the liquid that grants eternal youth
Have you noticed that Japanese women look younger than their actual age?
Rice is one of the main ingredients of the Japanese diet. This product is widely used not only for cooking, but also in cosmetics, especially for hair and skin care. Rice water reduces inflammation, has a healing effect and also fights the signs of skin aging.
How to prepare rice soup?
Fill a glass of water with rice and let it stand for 10-15 minutes. Boil the rice for 10 minutes, and then dry it. It is preferable to leave the juice in a warm place for a day so that it starts to ferment. Boil the water 24 hours after that, and then keep the product in the refrigerator.

Analyze:
This article does not have a source of information that clearly indicates where this study was taken from. Also, the facts presented in the text about the healing effects of rice juice are not verified. Hibrid.info categorizes this text as “Unverified Content” and “Fake News”.
Reasoning:
Unverified content
The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
Fake news
The “Fake News” rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information. Content that is rated as fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
