Incorporate Shio Koji into your recipes to add sufficient salty taste yet natural sweetness, bring out the ingredient's flavor, tenderize any proteins, and it authentically becomes food that is easy to digest for our body. Umami is guaranteed in Shio Koji due to the abundant enzymes that break down starches from the koji.
