FAQ

Koji starter is scientifically known as Aspergillus oryzae. In Japan, it is traditionally referred to as Koji-kin or Tane-koji, which translates to 'seed koji' used to inoculate grains.

To maintain the viability of the spores, the sachet should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably in the refrigerator. It typically has a shelf life of approximately six months after purchase.

While it can ferment various grains, the Chohaku Kin strain is specifically optimized for white varieties of koji where maintaining a light color and high sweetness is the primary goal.

Absolutely. While the full 20-gram pack can ferment 15 kilograms of rice, you can easily measure out smaller portions for domestic use. It is recommended to use slightly more powder for smaller quantities to ensure successful inoculation.
