Made with authentic Japanese koji mold, this additive-free Dried Rice Koji is a convenient kickstarter for fermented creations like shio koji, miso, amazake, offering chefs endless culinary possibilities. It's crafted from 100% pesticide-free and chemical fertilizer-free rice grown in Niigata Prefecture, ensuring purity in every batch. After harvest, the rice undergoes "Yukigura Shikomi," a unique storage method from Niigata’s snowy region, where it is kept in snow-covered warehouses. This traditional technique maintains consistent temperature and humidity year-round, preserving the rice’s freshness.
