Hanamaruki Foods Liquid Shio Koji $19.95

A powerful weapon in Japan’s culinary arsenal for centuries, koji is a special Japanese rice mold that’s the basis for making sake, soy sauce and miso.

When combined with salt and left to age, the koji transforms into shio koji as the rice grains break down into a pudding-y paste that will infuse anything with deep umami flavor.
