About this item

What is Jiuqu
Koji (jiuqu) is a kind of mold that is sprinkled on steamed rice, wheat, soybeans, and other grains, so to speak, "molded". If the grain is rice, rice koji, In the case of wheat, it is called barley koji, and in the case of beans, it is called bean koji.
These koji are used in the production of many typical fermented foods and seasonings that have been eaten in Japan since ancient times, such as miso and soy sauce, sake and shochu, miso mirin and amazake, and various pickles. The soy sauce fungus is said to be the “national fungus” of Japan. In addition to Jiuqu, these foods are fermented and aged with the addition of fermenting microorganisms such as yeast and lactic acid bacteria.
It can be said that miso is made from koji by mixing it with boiled or steamed soybeans, and amazake is made by mixing it with cooked rice. In both cases, the enzyme koji produced by Koji decomposes proteins and starches to create umami and sweetness, thereby creating those tastes.
I think that mold has a strong impression that it is unsanitary that grows on food that has been left for a long time, but just as there are edible mushrooms and inedible mushrooms, there are molds that can be eaten and molds that are not. You can say that.
"I can't eat it anymore because it has grown mold."
"Mold is growing, so let's throw it away."
Generally, molds are treated like that, but in fact, they have been made using such molds for a long time, and they are still indispensable for traditional fermented foods that are handed down all over Japan.
In recent years, it has been attracting attention as a raw material for salted koji following "sugar / salt / vinegar / soy sauce / sauce".
