## Description

Product description Koji Kin vs Rice Koji Koji Kin Koji Kin are the spores of Aspergillus Oryzae. They act like ‘seeds’ and proliferate fast, therefore, are inoculated in rice, barley, soybeans, etc. Rice Koji Rice koji are the rice inoculated with Aspergillus Oryzae. They are used as ‘enzyme’. One of their activities is to break down starch to sugar. For Example Take miso for example, first we prepare rice koji with koji kin (Inoculation). Next, we incubate rice koji with soybean paste (fermentation) to make miso. Why choose 'Rice Essence'? The final taste depends on the yeast strain and the type of rice. There are many strains of Aspergillus Oryzae available. Featured with various efficiency and flavor, they are used in different scenarios. The strain we choose is from AKITA, Japan, which has balanced capacity and is great for most applications. Rice type is also very important for the taste. For this reason, we pick organic polished short grain rice from Japan to ensure the best quality.

Review: Koji, it makes me feel a little emoji! - Good product! I made a couple of batches of koji rice and beans for the first time using this for a type of miso. It grew exceptionally well on the beans and rice, the enzyme produced are working their magic because the homemade miso is tasting great after only a month or so of aging! Once I deplete this pouch I’ll be buying more!
Review: Worked well - Works great. It’s real live spores. I made some great koji and some really nice sake from that.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this Koji Kin ( the green coloured spore ) or is this Koji inoculated rice ?**
A: Recieved my order, and to be honest I'm not sure it's spore. Kind of feels like they might just be grinding up a package of koji rice and repackaging it. Definitly not a green powder. Kind of sketchy that the seller has zero info about themselves or their product that I can find.

**Q: Is it ok to deep-freeze the spore in order to extend storage life? if so, what storage life can i expect?**
A: Deep-Freeze is not recommended. Just refrigerated and it's good for 1 year or so.

**Q: Is this pure koji kin? or grinded koji rice?**
A: This is pure koji spores. These are spores harvested from the actual fungi.

**Q: After I inoculate this on rice, will it give the rice a nice fluffy white color like how store bought koji rice looks?**
A: Yes.  
If using brown rice, white color koji is obvious.  
White color koji appears at the end of 2nd day.
