Description

  • TRADITIONAL KON KOJI - AUTHENTIC JAPANESE KOJI PASTE - This traditional Japanese kan koji is a versatile koji paste used as an all-purpose umami seasoning and marinade. Especially suited for aged beef, it enhances natural flavor, tenderizes meat, and removes unpleasant odors from seafood or poultry. Ideal for beef, pork, chicken, fish, or vegetables—just marinate and enjoy deep, aged flavor in every bite.
  • EASY UMAMI-RICH COOKING - Recreate the savory taste of aged cooking with ease. Simply marinate your ingredient in this koji sauce for a few hours. Grill meats or seafood for tender, flavorful results, or use it raw on salmon or ham for carpaccio and salads. It’s also perfect for vegetables like cucumber or radish to make traditional Japanese pickles (tsukemono).
  • KAN KOJI VS SHIO KOJI - SWEETER, THICKER, RICHER - Unlike standard shio koji, this kan koji includes extra steamed rice, giving it a thicker, stickier texture and a sweeter, more mellow taste. Traditionally made during Japan’s coldest winter months ("kan" means cold), kan koji offers richer depth and more cling for better marinating than any shio koji paste or shio koji marinade.
  • CRAFTED IN AKITA, THE HEART OF KOJI RICE - Produced in Akita, Japan—a region known for its exceptional koji rice for fermentation—this product uses only 100% locally grown Akita rice. With a rich natural environment, Akita is a celebrated region for high-quality fermented foods, making this koji rice product a standout in both flavor and tradition.
  • CLEAN, PURE INGREDIENTS - Made from just four ingredients—rice, sugar, salt, and koji rice fermented with Aspergillus oryzae—this koji paste contains no artificial flavors, no additives and no colors. A clean, honest, and traditional Japanese pantry staple for modern kitchens.
  • From Father's Day and summer grilling season to back-to-school meal prep, discover authentic Japanese condiments and seasonings from Yamasan Kyoto Uji. Whether you're searching for a unique gourmet gift for him, an umami upgrade for your own kitchen, or artisan Japanese flavors to elevate everyday cooking—each bottle and sachet delivers the deep, layered taste of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
