What we liked
- + Each 20g sachet is stated to yield up to 15kg (33 lbs) of rice koji, so the set of 3 covers many batches.
- + Made by Hishiroku, which the listing describes as a 300-year-old specialist koji manufacturer in Kyoto.
- + Powder in sachets, with guidance to use 2x or 3x the spores when you want a stronger result.
Trade-offs
- - A set of 3 sachets is more than an occasional koji maker needs, and a single sachet is the smaller way in.
- - No storage instructions or shelf life in the listing, which matters when three sachets are used over time.
