What is koji?
Koji is rice cultured with a beneficial mold, Aspergillus oryzae. This traditional fermentation starter has been used in Japan for centuries to make miso, soy sauce and sake, and it brings natural umami with no chemical flavor enhancers.
What Tasty Koji seasonings can do at your table
In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, Chef Kiyoka shows you how simply Tasty Koji seasonings can make everyday vegetables, proteins and even dessert more flavorful and enjoyable.
