Liquid Shio Koji - Cultured Rice Condiment

Hanamaruki’s liquid shio koji is a versatile Japanese seasoning made from cultured rice that’s been fermented with koji mold. Unlike traditional shio koji paste, this liquid version is easy to measure and blend, bringing savory depth and gentle sweetness to everything it touches. Naturally rich in enzymes and amino acids, it tenderizes proteins while boosting umami, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.

Use it as a marinade for meats, poultry, or fish, stir it into salad dressings, or drizzle over steamed vegetables and rice. It’s especially fantastic as a substitute for salt in everyday cooking, adding more complexity and a subtle hint of koji fermentation.
