Shiokoji – Fermented Japanese seasoning
Shiokoji is a traditional Japanese seasoning blend made from kōji (fermented rice or barley), salt, and water. This variant is in liquid form, making it easy to use directly as a marinade or flavor enhancer.
The fermentation process with the fungus Aspergillus oryzae releases enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins into natural sweetness and umami. The result is a deep, complex flavor that both enhances the ingredients’ natural character and adds tenderness.
Characteristics
- Made with Aspergillus oryzae (kōji)
- Liquid consistency – easy to dose
- Rich in natural umami and a mild sweetness
- Improves both flavor and tenderness in meat, fish, and vegetables
Use
Shiokoji is especially used for marinades, where it both adds flavor and increases juiciness in the ingredients. It is also well suited for soups, sauces, dressings, and modern fusion dishes where extra depth is desired.
Fun fact
Koji is the Japanese name for Aspergillus oryzae. The fungus’ enzymes ferment proteins into umami-rich amino acids and carbohydrates into sweet sugars – it is this process that gives shiokoji its distinctive character.
