Hanamaruki Foods has been producing miso for almost 100 years. Their liquid shio koji is created from shio koji that is placed in a bag and then pressed. The result is an enzyme-rich liquid which they have patented. Liquid shio koji can be used to marinate meats, season broths, or add umami to anything.

We had the opportunity to talk to the founder of Japanese Pantry—learn more about their craftsmanship and story on our blog here.
