Machida, Tokyo, Japan｜Inoue Kouji

This is Inoue Koji store, which sells fermented foods such as koji and bread. The inside of the store is compact, but like a specialty store, they sell specially made koji. This is a wonderful shop that is riding on the recent fermentation boom, including those who make sweet sake and miso. The customer service is courteous, and they sometimes offer special amazake (sweet sake). Amazake Smooth is also very delicious and seems to be healthy from the inside out. Although it's compact, it's a very nice shop that anyone who loves health food will be happy with. it's recommended.

Inoue Koji has been specializing in koji since the early Meiji era, and now you can also purchase miso made with live koji bacteria. I searched and found a place where I could buy natural seasonings locally. I sampled the miso that can be purchased at the store, and today I bought double koji for both rice miso and barley miso. The soybeans are said to be from Yamagata. If there is a lot of koji, the aftertaste will be mellow and the flavor will have more depth☺️

Unlike miso that is sold without fermenting, it is a real miso with a gentle taste that has the proper aroma and taste of koji. I will buy again when I run out!
