FAQ

Koji starter, also known as Koji-kin, consists of spores from the Aspergillus oryzae fungus. It is used to inoculate grains like rice, barley, or soybeans to create koji, which serves as the fermenting base for miso, soy sauce, and sake.

While this Chohaku Kin variant is optimized for white rice koji and amazake, specific shoyu koji starters are often blended with Aspergillus sojae to better break down soy proteins. This white variant is best suited for rice and wheat applications.

To maintain maximum spore viability, store the sachet in a cool, dark, and dry place. For long-term preservation, keeping the sealed package in the refrigerator is recommended.
