Iseso fermented rice Miyako Koji, 200g
Description
Discover Miyako Koji – a traditional Japanese fermented product made from high-quality steamed rice and the noble mold Aspergillus oryzae. Long used in Japan as a key ingredient in making miso, soy sauce, and sweet amazake, it’s now available for your kitchen adventures.
What is Koji?
It’s the “magical ingredient” of Japanese cuisine – rice inoculated with a special fermentation mold that breaks down starches and proteins to unlock deep, savory umami flavor. Koji is the foundation of many iconic Japanese seasonings and marinades.
How to use:

-
homemade miso,
-
shio koji – a natural, fermented marinade and seasoning,

It’s also a natural way to tenderize meat and enhance flavor—without added MSG or artificial flavor enhancers.
