Koji is steamed rice or another grain cultured with the mold Aspergillus oryzae, used to ferment foods. It produces enzymes that break down starches and proteins into sugars and amino acids, adding sweetness and umami.

What is koji used for?

Koji is used to make miso, soy sauce, sake, mirin and amazake, and to make shio koji for marinating. It is also used in some pickles and fermented sauces.

Shio koji is a Japanese seasoning made by fermenting rice koji with salt and water. It tenderizes meat and fish, and adds a savory, slightly sweet flavor to marinades and soups.

What is the difference between rice koji and shio koji?

Rice koji is the dry or fresh cultured grain, while shio koji is the finished seasoning that is made by mixing it with salt and water. Ready-made Hikari Shio Koji can be used straight from the container.

How do I make shio koji at home?

Mix rice koji with salt and water, then ferment it at room temperature, stirring daily, until it is sweet and soft, usually about a week. Store it in the refrigerator.

How should I store koji?

Store dry rice koji according to the package, usually in the refrigerator or freezer once opened. Shio koji and fresh koji need refrigeration.

Is koji the same as miso?

No. Koji is a fermentation starter, while miso is a paste made from soybeans, salt and koji. Marukome Hana Koji Miso is a miso that is made with extra koji.

I've tried many different kinds, but this is definitely the best! It also has a shelf life of over six months. It arrives with an ice pack. It's on the sweeter side, so it goes well with miso soup with napa cabbage and fried tofu. Of course, it's also essential for pork miso soup!
