Umami Seasoning

Shio Koji adds depth and subtle sweetness to your cooking. Its active enzymes tenderize meat, poultry and fish while adding umami flavor. 

We make our Shio Koji using handcrafted organic rice koji made from premium short grain Akitakomachi rice, ancient salt from Utah and California spring water to create the best umami experience. Also, our Shio Koji has a creamy consistency, so it is versatile to use.

2. Salt Alternative:
Use Shio Koji as a flavor enhancing salt alternative in sautéing, baking and dressings. Use 2 teaspoons of Shio Koji for 1 teaspoon of salt.

3. Pickles (Tsukemono):

Shipping & Storage Note:
Shio Koji is a naturally fermented product and can tolerate short periods in transit without refrigeration.

We include ice packs during warmer months as an added precaution, but they may melt by the time your order arrives. This is normal.
