Yoshiichi Shoyu Koji Mold Set

Soy sauce, miso, sake, shochu: some of Japan's most characteristic food products exist thanks to koji, aka Aspergillus oryzae, a mold used to turn various types of starches into sugars. Being in the soy business since 1900, Yoshiichi, a company from Ishikawa Prefecture, knows very well how important koji is and has created a unique pack of five products that use it in conventional as well as in not so conventional ways. The Yoshiichi Shoyu Koji Mold Set and if you want to go deeper into Japanese flavors, you need to give it a try!

The Yoshiichi Shoyu Koji Mold Set contains a 180 g (6.3 oz) pack of soy sauce, Yoshiichi's standard product. Then comes a pack of salted koji, a salt-koji combination that can be used as a salt substitute for seasoning pretty much anything, and then a trio of amazake (sweet sake), each brewed with a different type of koji (black or white) or using a different type of rice (regular, brewers, or germinated brown). If you are wondering why so many amazake, it's because amazake is extremely versatile and can be used as a dessert, drink, dressing for salads, or even sweetener!
