About Koji
Koji is made from rice that has been inoculated with culinary microbes known as Aspergillus Oryzae. Aspergillus Oryzae has the amazing ability to digest the complex carbohydrates that make up rice. As a result, the digestion converts the the carbohydrates into simpler sugars. As a result, these simpler sugars become food for naturally existing microorganisms. The fermentation process breaks down and feeds on the beans and grains to create more easily digested sugars, fatty acids and amino acids. As the microbes feed, they multiply and create post-biotics. One of the postbiotics created is glutamic acid which is responsible for miso’s amazing umami flavour.
