鶴味噌醸造 乾燥米こうじ 500g

Dried rice koji is a traditional Japanese fermenting agent used to produce miso, soy sauce, and sake. Tsurumiso's dried rice koji is made by inoculating steamed rice with koji spores and incubating until the fungus permeates the grains. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} This process enhances the development of enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins, enriching the flavour and nutritional profile of fermented products. 

How to Use

To create miso, mix dried rice koji with soybeans and salt, then ferment the mixture for several months. For soy sauce, combine it with soybeans and roasted, cracked wheat, and ferment. Additionally, dried rice koji can be used to make shio koji, a marinade that tenderises meat and adds depth to dishes.
