									<p>Our foundation and most versatile seasoning. Shio Koji is made by fermenting non-GMO Rice Koji and mineral-rich premium Japanese seaweed salt, creating enzymes that naturally break down proteins, starches, and fats. The result: tender, juicy texture and layers of savory Umami with gentle sweetness.</p><h3>How to use it?</h3><ul><li> Marinate meats or fish — Use 10% of the protein’s weight in Shio Koji to marinate chicken, pork, beef, or salmon. In just a few hours, the enzymes tenderize the meat and bring out deep, savory flavor.<br /><br /></li><li>Vegetables made simple — Toss with blanched vegetables like spinach, broccoli, asparagus, or fresh tomatoes for a quick, flavorful side dish.<br /><br /></li><li> Transform tofu — Coat and marinate for at least 5 days (ideally one week) to create a rich, spreadable, cheese-like appetizer that’s entirely plant-based.<br /><br /></li><li> Cook with rice — Add a spoonful into your rice cooker for naturally sweet, fragrant rice with boosted Umami.</li></ul><p>No complicated steps—just squeeze from the tube and let Koji do the work!</p><p>It’s the purest way to taste Koji’s natural Umami and sweetness, with the mineral depth of premium Japanese seaweed salt.</p>								</div>

									<p>Not just soy sauce, but soy sauce reborn. By fermenting with Rice Koji, bonito flakes, and Kombu kelp, this condiment becomes an Umami bomb — over ten times richer in savory depth than soy sauce alone.
