The product offered here is a rice kōji powder: a dried and finely ground kōji, ideal for sprinkling over salads, toast, soups, salad dressings, desserts, ice creams, or pastries… To easily benefit from its enzymes and nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDried at low temperature to fully preserve enzymatic activity, this kōji is part of an ancestral tradition. It is used to prepare amazake, shio-kōji, shoyu kōji (fermented soy sauce), miso, as well as traditional marinades such as kojizuke or bettarazuke (fermented daikon radish).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRice kōji is obtained from steamed rice, inoculated with *Aspergillus oryzae*, then carefully cultivated in a warm, humid environment conducive to its development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring fermentation, kōji generates more than 100 types of enzymes. Proteases transform proteins into amino acids, including glutamate, which is the origin of umami flavour. Amylases, in turn, convert starch into sugars, bringing a subtle sweetness. This synergy gives food a unique aromatic richness, blending depth, sweetness, and characteristic fermented notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true wellness ally, kōji aids digestion, supports the immune system, and provides B vitamins as well as essential minerals, while naturally enhancing the flavour of preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KOJIYA","offers":[{"title":"100 g net","offer_id":54111412224333,"sku":"NISKOJI5","price":8.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6438\/8941\/files\/KOJI5-s.webp?v=1782198354","url":"https:\/\/www.nishikidori.com\/en\/products\/rice-koji-powder","provider":"Nishikidori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
