Delicious
Best koji for marinade! I use this on chicken, fish and meats! A little goes a long way. Helps break down toughness of the meat and what you're left with is amazing!

Great umami flavor to marinades!
I just started using Koji as an ingredient of my marinades for pork and chicken. It brings a great twist to the flavor and tenderness of the meat and resulting sauces.

Delicious multi layered flavor booster
I saw this beautiful Japanese marinade on one of my favorite YouTube shows called dinner party tonight and after purchasing it I can say that when they called it the Marinade of King's, they weren’t joking. I used it on salmon fillets, just coated them, let them marinate, and broiled. The result? It tasted like something you’d pay $40 for at Nobu. The flavor was so rich and layered, like years of expertise packed into one bottle that made dinner for me. And all I had to do was broil some fish on a random Thursday! Yes, please. I’ll definitely be buying more fish now. As I’m writing this, I’ve got chicken and zucchini marinating to test it out again. I’m obsessed. Just a heads-up—if you’re using this don’t add extra salt. It’s already seasoned perfectly. Hands down, one of the best food “shortcuts” ever. It takes them a long time to make, but I get to enjoy it instantly. Highly recommend!

Savory vegetables
Not a big vegetable guy but this stuff is great on many food items. Brings out a very savory flavor in thing like cauliflower and asparagus. I’m ordering it for the third time. V

Interesting new base ingredient!
Read about Koju In Cooks' Illustrated (my cooking bible). Gave it a try grilling chicken and fish. It adds a umami depth as promised , not a salt or soy forward as most white misos (for example), but also tenderized the chix, I believe, and supported a bit of a char I wouldn't have gotten with say--a miso rub. If incorporating new ingredients into your culinary thinking is your buzz--give this Koji a try.
