This product is considered one of Japan's TOP 500 FOOD TREASURES.

This is different from our Shio Koji in the sense that it will work quicker and without SALT. This is a very powerful powder so you only need a little for it to work. This Kisuke Koji Powder tenderises food and adds amazing flavour (like adding MSG but this stuff is wonderfully healthy to your gut). To import this we have had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Please see our other product Shio Koji for recipe ideas BUT use this product when you don't want to add salt - (think adding it to Wagyu/Tuna tartare, on bacon, in desserts etc!!).

Kojiya Honten in Oita prefecture has made Koji for more than 320 years starting in 1689!! Kojiya Honten was established in the Genroku era by Nobuyoshi Kichizaemon Asari a navy captain of the Sendou group of the Saiki domain.
