Koji Salt Seasoning Paste, Rice-Based Fermented, 500g · East & West

One of those products that isn't always well-known, but once you start using it, you realize how practical it is. We're talking about koji salt – a Japanese seasoning made from fermented rice, with a milder character than regular salt and contributing natural umami. It's especially suitable for marinades and pre-seasoning raw ingredients, as it helps enhance the flavor of meat, fish, and vegetables and adds a deeper, more balanced, and pleasant feel to the dish. Its paste-like texture is very convenient to work with, making it easy to spread, mix, or incorporate directly into stews, sauces, and marinades. The product comes in a 500g package and is manufactured in Japan.

Tips
Excellent for spreading on chicken, fish, tofu, or vegetables before cooking or roasting, and you can also add a small spoon to a sauce or stew to enhance the depth of flavor without adding many ingredients. Since it already contains salt, it's advisable to taste before adding additional seasoning. The ingredients are rice, salt, and alcohol.
