Made with garlic, rice koji, and salt, Shio Koji Garlic Paste is a versatile, tasty, and nutritious seasoning. It’s an exquisite blend of shio koji (salted rice koji paste) and garlic paste, which exhibits substantial umami and an appetizing garlic flavor. This energy-boosting seasoning was developed by Yokofuku, a garlic farm in Kagoshima Prefecture, and is crafted from their own crops, grown in mild weather with fertile soil. One bottle of Shio Koji Garlic Paste (150g / 5.3 oz) contains two whole bulbs of garlic. Also, rice koji is a probiotic food that helps improve gut health. You can use the paste not only for cooking dishes like pasta, grilled meat and fish, sautéed vegetables, but also as a condiment. Because enzymes in rice koji can break down proteins, it is ideal for marinating meat, fish, and vegetables as it enhances their flavors while making them juicy and tender. No artificial flavorings, colorings, preservatives, or additives are used.
