Liquid Shio Koji is a convenient, pourable form of traditional Shio Koji, made from fermented rice, salt, and koji, offering chefs an easy way to add natural umami and subtle sweetness to dishes. Compared to the paste, the liquid type is easier to measure and incorporate into marinades, sauces, and dressings, making it a versatile choice for Japanese cuisine and fusion dishes alike, while still delivering tenderizing benefits and depth of flavor.
