Premium Dry Rice Koji 3 Pack

'Kojiya Satomura' (Kohsei Foods), Japan's No. 1 malted rice maker, offers a premium dry rice koji that is the same high-quality rice used by the country's leading amazake producer on Rakuten. This special rice malt has a wide range of applications, including the creation of probiotic and nutritious foods and beverages.

Rice koji naturally contains the beneficial fungus Aspergillus oryzae and serves as the foundation for various traditional Japanese products, such as miso, sake, soju/sochu, soy sauce, and mirin. 'Kojiya Satomura' (Kohsei Foods) is a pioneer in the research, development, and manufacturing of premium-quality rice koji.

Using 100% natural Japanese rice and produced in the moisture-rich Gifu Prefecture, the dry rice koji is designed to make koji water and amazake easily. Koji water, a popular daily health drink in Japan, contains over 100 strains of rice koji enzymes. It has a slightly sweet natural flavor and can be mixed with a variety of beverages, including lemon or lime juice, yuzu, soy milk, or fruit vinegars. Koji water can also be consumed straight or over ice. It is known to have skin-brightening properties and can be used as a toner by putting it in a spray bottle (always perform a patch test first to ensure no allergic reactions).

In addition to koji water, two other recipes are included with each purchase: 1) Amazake, a fermented rice milk or "sweet sake," and 2) "salt koji," a popular marinade and umami flavor enhancer. Dry rice koji has endless culinary applications, such as making sake, miso, vinegar, pickles (tsukemono), soy sauce, shochu/soju, and awamori.

This premium dry rice koji from 'Kojiya Satomura' (Kohsei Foods) is currently available at an introductory sale price. Sourced from the moisture-rich Gifu Prefecture, it is highly acclaimed by Japanese amazake-making professionals and offers a convenient, shelf-stable solution for creating a wide range of healthy, fermented foods and beverages.
