## Overview

Hanamaruki Gluten Free Liquid Shio Koji is a 16.9 fl oz bottle of enzyme-rich, crystal-clear Japanese seasoning made from fermented rice malt and salt. This gluten-free, non-GMO liquid enhances umami, tenderizes meats, and serves as a versatile salt substitute, making it a must-have for modern culinary enthusiasts seeking authentic flavor with effortless use.

## Description

Hanamaruki's Liquid Shio Koji is a unique and convenient preparation of traditional shio koji. Hanamaruki makes shio koji, places it in a sake bag and then presses it to get only the enzyme-rich liquid. You can use this to marinate meats, season broths or even add to meatballs or gyoza filling. Shio koji is a traditional Japanese ingredient made with a fermented rice malt (koji) and salt (shio). The enzymes contained in shio koji break down proteins to draw umami out of meat and fish. Hikari Miso’s Shio Koji is in liquid form with the tiny half-dissolved grains of rice malt and packaged in a convenient plastic bottle. It can also be used in place of salt by substituting two teaspoons of shio koji for every teaspoon of salt. This easy-to-use aspect is another reason the traditional ingredient recaptured.

Review: Amazing new staple in my kitchen! - Hanamaruki is the only company that produces a liquid shio koji seasoning like this, with no rice solids. Because it is crystal clear, it can be used in much the same way you might use soy sauce, and I find that mixing it with soy sauce in my favorite Japanese recipes creates a new and interesting combination of flavors. There's really nothing else like this on the market, except to say that the closest thing I've had, other than traditional shio koji, is maybe a 100% wheat shiro shoyu or "golden tamari". I've been cooking Japanese food all my life, but only discovered this product in my mid 50s, and from the first taste, I knew it would be a permanent staple in my pantry. Highly recommended for people who enjoy Japanese cuisine.
Review: Umami - Perfect for steak lovers. Adds a slight dry aged flavor profile! Really helps break down cheaper cuts to a more tender consistency. Will use again
