What makes our mugi koji special

Organic Mugi Koji, also known as Barley Koji, are barley grains that have been fermented with Koji Kin, a noble Japanese mould called Aspergillus oryzae. This process takes over two days. This is followed by gentle drying at a low temperature over a period of 24 hours. The result of this elaborate fermentation and drying process is a ferment with a sweet, mushroomy flavour.

How to use our mugi koji

Mugi koji is used for the traditional production of mugi miso, mugi shio koji or barley amazake.

Organic mugi koji, also known as barley koji, can be used in a similar way to kome koji for the production of Japanese ferments. As barley barley contains more flavour than white rice, mugi koji is generally used for miso in Japan. However, mugi amazake or mugi sake are also delicious. You can also use it to make shio koji or powder it with salt to make koji salt or dry marinade.

On the back of the packaging you will find recipe suggestions for mugi koji cha, amazake and miso with mugi koji.

Shelf life

Mugi Koji has a best-before date of 12 months. Store in a cool, dry place.

Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee that the product will be packaged immediately before shipping. As we do not freshly package every product every day, the remaining shelf life upon arrival may be considerably shorter.

Nevertheless, our products generally remain enjoyable to eat well beyond the best-before date, so please do not discard them prematurely. The best-before date refers not only to edibility but also to sensory qualities such as colour, texture and flavour. Over time, our products generally develop a more intense aroma and a darker colour.
