Product of Japan. Koji is the essence of sake, miso, amazake, natto etc. used for most of the traditional Japanese cooking. I can not believe I was able to find this product on Amazon. $12,78- / 550 gram. Shio means salt. You may add to pasta dishes, sauteed vegetables, a bowl of soup or you may marinate it with fish and meat before you grill. It is salty but mild flavor. Why Koji? It is beneficial bacterias like probiotics. Why not eat your meal adding this tasty seasoning rich with probiotics? By the way, the rice used for this product is from Akita prefecture best known for the high-quality organic rice and use non-synthetic high-quality salt. I am so glad I found it!
