What we liked

  • + A white koji starter in the Kawachi line, an alternative to the yellow Kawachi koji also covered in this guide.
  • + 15g packet is a small-batch size, so there is less to store between koji-making sessions.
  • + Title lists sake, miso, soy sauce and amazake as intended uses, the range most home koji makers work in.

Trade-offs

  • - The listing has a single generic bullet, with no stated yield per gram, strain details or dosing guidance.
  • - At 15g it is a small packet, so the cost per gram runs higher than the multi-sachet sets.
