Koji fermentation is a traditional Japanese process that involves the cultivation of the mold Aspergillus oryzae on grains, typically rice, barley, or soybeans. This mold breaks down starches into sugars, which can then be fermented by yeast or bacteria to produce various products like sake, miso, and soy sauce. The fermentation not only enhances flavor and aroma but also improves the nutritional profile of the food. Koji is a crucial element in many East Asian cuisines, contributing to a wide range of fermented foods.
