About Shio koji

Shio Koji is a traditional Japanese seasoning made from rice koji, salt, and water, naturally fermented to create a versatile marinade and flavor enhancer. Koji, a mold used in Japanese cuisine, breaks down starches and proteins during fermentation, producing enzymes that tenderize meat, enhance umami, and add subtle sweetness to dishes. Originating in Japan, Shio Koji is a popular ingredient for salads, grilled proteins, and pickling. Rich in probiotics, it supports gut health and digestion while providing beneficial enzymes that may aid nutrient absorption. Despite its health benefits, its sodium content can be high, so moderation is recommended, especially for those monitoring salt intake. With its unique flavor profile and nutritional perks, Shio Koji offers a creative way to enhance dishes while promoting digestive balance in traditional and modern cooking alike.
