Koji is the mold that can do anything: miso, soy sauce, shoyu, shio koji, amazake, black bean sauce, sake, doungjun, they all owe their amazing texture and flavor to the fungus Aspergillus oryzae. This all-rounder can also be used, for example, to perform cool experiments with the fermentation of meat or even dairy.

How to calculate the amount of dry koji rice you need?
You should expect for the rice to soak up roughly 50% of its weight in water. So, x 1,5. The other way around: if your recipe says 250 grams of koji rice, divide it by 1,5 = roughly 165-170 grams.
