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 which they have a patent for. You can use this to marinate meats, season broths or even add to meatballs or gyoza filling...basically, if you want to add umami to anything, use Liquid Shio Koji. That's why we call it liquid gold.
To marinate a protein, add 8 to 10% of the weight of the protein in liquid shio koji. In other words, to marinate 100 grams of meat, add 8 to 10 grams of liquid shio koji.
To learn more about koji, please read this great article by Sari Kamin on Tasting Table.

This ponzu that Suehiro makes is top notch! They use a blend of four different Japanese citrus: Yuzu for aroma, Sudachi for acidity, Daidai for sweetness & Yukou for mildness. The floral/citrus fragrance of this ponzu is out of this world. It does not stop there as the beautiful flavor of the citrus is balanced by the soy sauce & mirin. This is further elevated by the umami from the Ma Konbu dashi that Suehiro adds to this product. Use this with raw fish, veggies, mayonnaise (personal favorite), noodles, etc.
Please refrigerate after opening.
Ingredients: dark soy sauce (water, soybean, wheat, salt, alcohol), citrus juice (yuzu, citrus sudachi, bitter orange, yukou citrus), mirin (rice, rice koji, brewing alcohol, starch), konbu dashi (water, kelp), sugar

When we started selling to restaurants way back when, chefs often asked if we carried Shirodashi. Truthfully, I had never really used it before, but when I tried Nitto Jozo’s version I was hooked. It has become a mainstay in my pantry.
Nitto Jozo’s Shirodashi base is their White Tamari, which is made up of only wheat, salt and water. Then Ninagawa-san skillfully incorporates shiitake, katsuobushi (from Matoba Suisan), sea salt, mirin, Ma Konbu and sugar. This condiment is meant for finishing, meaning when you just want to add a burst of flavor at the end of preparing dishes like soups, dressings, etc. The president of Nitto Jozo, Ninagawa-san says this is super delicious over steamed or boiled vegetables. It also works great when making rolled omelets (like our Dashi Maki Tamago recipe).
Refrigerate after opening.

Nitto Jozo’s Vegetarian Shirodashi starts with a base of their White Tamari, which is made up of only wheat, salt and water. Then Ninagawa-san skillfully incorporates shiitake, dried daikon radish, rice vinegar, sea salt, mirin and Ma Konbu. The dried daikon and rice vinegar give this a wonderful funkiness.

In stark contrast to "dark" soy sauce, white tamari is made up of only wheat, salt and water. This product is essentially a white soy sauce, which traditionally is mostly wheat and a little bit of soy bean. When you ferment soy beans they become dark, so the more you have the darker the brew. Ninagawa-san made his brew with 100% wheat, so the Japanese government told him he can not call it "soy sauce". So he playfully calls it "white tamari". Nitto Jozo uses locally grown wheat, Japanese sea salt, mountain spring water and koji to make their shiro tamari. The nose is strong malty, with koji and white miso notes, which perfectly highlights it's sweet, salty and strong umami flavor. It is used to highlight ingredients in a dish, vinaigrettes, sauces, etc. Refrigerate after opening.
