[Orignal Case Pack: 50 units] Marukura’s Shio Koji Powder is an innovative seasoning that has all the great qualities of shio koji (a savory paste made with rice koji and salt) and solves all the inconveniences of the traditionally pasty seasoning. Shio Koji Powder, made only from house-crafted rice koji and salt from Okinawa, contains active enzymes that help break down proteins and starches and turn them into amino acids and sugar respectively, just like the typical paste or liquid versions of shio koji. It effectively draws out the sweetness and umami from any ingredient while tenderizing it at the same time. Since it’s a powder, it’s easy to handle and has a long shelf-life, unlike paste or liquid shio koji.
