    A Tradition of Creativity

    'Koji' refer to the grains inoculated with koji mold.
    They further underwent different fermentation process to make sake, miso, shoyu and more.

    Gradually, a unique culinary tradition was formed. 

    It's a tradition of creativity.

    Koji enzymes can break down starch and protein to sugar and amino acids.
    Therefore, flavors, like sweet, umami and more, are produced. 
    However, koji's magic are not limited to Asian cuisines.
