Kawachi Yellow Koji - Rice Malt Powder - Probiotic for Women and Men

Product Description: Kawachikinhonpo

With a history spanning over a century, Kawachikinhonpo is a revered seed malt shop renowned for its expertise in koji mold. Koji mold, scientifically known as Aspergillus Oryzae, is a unique microorganism indigenous to Japan, distinguished from harmful molds by its non-toxic properties. Unlike its poisonous counterparts, koji mold lacks the genetic material responsible for producing harmful substances, thus earning its reputation as a safe and edible mold.

In contemporary culinary culture, koji mold holds a special status as Japan's "national fungus," celebrated worldwide for its role in traditional Japanese fermentation practices. Beyond its culinary applications, koji offers substantial health benefits for both humans and animals, as well as enhancing plant growth. Its enzymatic properties facilitate starch saccharification without contributing acidity, while its abundant protease content enhances umami flavors in meat and fish dishes.

Kawachi Yellow Koji, a hallmark innovation of Kawachikinhonpo, represents the culmination of extensive research on koji initiated by Genichiro Kawachi. This fine powder boasts exceptional solubility, making it ideal for creating non-alcoholic sweet sake swiftly and effortlessly.
