(100g bottle 1000 yen)

This salted koji has been aged for three years at a Zen temple in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Compared to regular shio koji, it is characterized by a mellow taste without the sharpness of saltiness. We recommend adding it to tofu or natto, or making a dressing with oil and vinegar.
