Shio (salt) koji is a versatile seasoning made from rice koji, rice, salt and water, naturally fermented to bring out pure umami through the power of living enzymes.
Use it to marinate meat or vegetables, stir a spoonful into rice before cooking, or simply replace salt in your everyday dishes for a gentler, more satisfying flavour that’s naturally lower in sodium. Replacing 1 part salt with 2 parts shio koji reduces salt intake by 75%!
Our shio koji is based on a recipe passed down from the founder’s grandmother, carefully refined for today’s kitchen. Made with mineral-rich sea salt for a mellow complexity and depth of taste — a true staple for effortless, flavourful cooking.
