FAQs

KOJI is a microscopic mold, declared the national mold of Japan. It is a starter for fermentation using dried legumes and cereals, and is responsible for the production of majority of condiments in Japan, including soy sauce, miso, mirin (rice syrup), vinegar, and sake.
Soy sauce, rich in umami, is a versitile condiments, which can replace salt in most dishes to enhance flavor. The most common way of using miso is in miso soup, but there are thousands of cuisines, national and regional that are made with various types of misos.
Our shoyu is unpasteurised. Kept in a refrigerator, it can last for over one year in good condition even after opened. Miso will continue to ferment in ambiant temperature. To slow down this process, keep it refrigerated.

Some of our clients have raised a concern regarding our non-pasteurised shoyu during pregnancy.

Soy sauce has shown to possesses antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella flexneri, Vibrio cholera, Salmonella enteritidis, nonpathogenic Escherichia coli and pathogenic E. coli O157:H7.

Development of bacterias in soy sauce is also hampered by the fact that it contains high salt content ranging between 16 and 17%.

However, please consult your personal doctor for advice.

Studies have shown that, in case of soy sauce, all elements responsible for soy and wheat allergies are transformed during fermentation. Read more about it here. Nevertheless, there are those who are completely intolerant to these ingredients. For such sensitive individual, we recommend our gluten free shoyu made with lentils and quinoa.

A recent study has shown that NaCl is transformed during the fermentation process of miso, and instead of contributing to hyper tension, it reduces the risk of hyper tension.
