✅【What is Shio Koji?】Shio Koji is a fermented seasoning made from koji and salt. Compared to regular salt, Shio Koji offers a much richer umami flavor, adding a deeper taste to any dish. When used as a marinade for meat, the enzymes in koji help make it incredibly tender and juicy.
✅【Fermented in a Traditional Miso Brewery】Our Shio Koji is crafted in a traditional miso brewery located in Nikko, Tochigi, Japan. Mr. Jinbo, a dedicated fourth-generation brewer, is passionate about preserving traditional fermentation culture while constantly exploring new knowledge. With his deep love for koji, he carefully makes our Shio Koji using the pure underground water of Nikko and his sincere enthusiasm. The result is an exceptional Shio Koji with a truly unique flavor.
