This high-quality rice malt is an essential ingredient for creating probiotic and nutritious foods and beverages.

''Kojiya Satomura'' (Kohsei Foods) is a leading pioneer in the research, development, and manufacturing of premium rice koji. Their product is made from 100% natural Japanese rice and is specially designed for creating koji water and amazake. Koji water, a healthy daily beverage in Japan, is rich in rice koji enzymes and has a subtle sweetness. It can be mixed with other beverages such as citrus juices, yuzu, soy milk, or fruit vinegars, and can even be consumed on its own. Additionally, rice water is known for its skin-brightening properties, making it a popular beauty supplement when used as a toner.

To make koji water, simply soak the dried rice koji in hot water, activate the enzymes, and refrigerate for 7-8 hours. With every purchase, two recipes are included - one for amazake, also known as sweet sake, and another for "salt koji," a popular marinade and flavor enhancer.
