One Dash to Take Your Dish to the Next Level – The Ultimate “Koku” Seasoning
Aged Shio Koji has been heat-dried by an exclusive hear-drying process to produce an easy-to-use “koku” powder seasoning.
By the effect of “Melanoidin” formed during the fermentation and aging process, when added in culinary it adds an extra complex dimension of deep full flavor and added aroma. This unique blend of effects is creating “koku”. Unlike a seasoning that defines a dish by a blast of flavor, Aged Koji Powder is a completely new type that brings out the best of the ingredients and raises the entire floor in terms of flavor.
Taking a demi-glace sauce, for example, the umami of the meat is magnified and adds an entire wave of flavor that makes it seem as if you have let it slow-cook for hours.
In mapo tofu, the spiciness and umami is drawn out and adds an additional dimension of deeper richer flavor.
In addition to all of its characteristics, it also has the ability to sustain flavor. From the moment the food enters your mouth and in the moments following, the delicious flavor lingers for a more fulfilling and satisfactory dining experience.
With its versatility and array of applications, this is one seasoning we would love for you to add to your kitchen arsenal.
