Our Craft Koji Rice is meticulously inoculated with koji spore (Aspergillus oryzae). This koji rice is designed to produce a higher quantity of amylase—an enzyme crucial for breaking down starch. This specialized koji rice is perfect for creating Amazake, the traditional Japanese sweet rice drink known for its natural sweetness and nutritional benefits.
Through a precise fermentation process, this koji rice boosts enzymatic activity, providing a rich source of amylase that efficiently converts rice starch into simple sugars. This makes it a key ingredient for homemade Amazake and an excellent enhancer for the flavor and texture of other fermented foods and beverages. Whether for brewing or culinary applications, our Craft Koji Rice is a versatile, high-quality choice for fermentation enthusiasts.
