Makes Great Amazake!

Amazake Co. offers very good koji rice. The rice is evenly well coated with the inoculant and mixes perfectly with cooked rice or soybeans. It goes to work immediately and produces very tasty products. Recommended!

Organic brown rice koji

Excellent product, I am using it every day to make koji water.
This product has very little koji smell I don’t like. Easy to consume.

Amazake koji for brown rice

Made a gallon of Amazake with organic brown rice koji from Amazake Co. and it was sweet and energizing. The husks aren’t a great mouth feel in a drink, but the fiber is necessary in my diet. Will be better mixed with another pulpy or fibrous food. Trying the organic white rice koji next for better mouth feel as a drink.
I appreciate the years of experience, knowledge and care that have made Amazake Co. koji available for my gastronomic exploration.
