SHIO KOJI – The secret to experiencing natural flavors from food
Shio Koji has been used for centuries as an indispensable seasoning in Japanese kitchens. Shio Koji provides a gentle, refined flavor that enhances the natural sweetness and deliciousness of ingredients. Simply using Shio Koji instead of salt in your dishes will bring a fresh experience to your familiar daily meals.
What makes you choose Shio Koji?
If you appreciate simplicity, rustic flavors, and the essence derived directly from the ingredients, this is an option you cannot overlook. Moreover, compared to salt, ingredients (meat, fish, etc.) marinated with Shio Koji will be juicier, softer, and more flavorful.
About Shio Koji
Production Method
Using the shikomi technique, koji (made from rice) combined with salt and alcohol creates moromi (a fermentation mixture), which is kept in sealed stainless steel tanks and stirred daily to facilitate fermentation. After 5-7 days, once the koji grains are properly softened, the fermentation process ends, and the resulting mixture is Shio Koji.
