Koji Kin Starter Spore 100g for 200kg Best for Amazake Miso Kairyo-Chohaku-Kin

This is a koji starter packed with the 300-year legacy of Hishiroku, a long-established company specializing solely in koji molds.

This particular strain is ideal for making amazake (sweet rice drink), as it brings out the natural aroma of koji. It features a well-balanced enzymatic profile and is characterized by the nostalgic, traditional fragrance of old-fashioned koji.

With just 100g of this starter, you can produce koji from 200kg of uncooked rice (measured before soaking).

Especially suited for white-colored products such as amazake, shiro miso (white miso), and shio-koji (salted rice malt), where maintaining a light color is important.

It is formulated with enhanced mold activity, making it highly efficient — allowing 100g of the starter to convert 200kg of raw rice into high-quality koji.
