Where to find Koji in US
There are at least a few (probably more) Koji makers in the US. Most of
you can get rice Koji at your
local homebrew suppliers. Here is a Koji maker of whom I have the
address and phone number:
Miyako Oriental Foods,Inc.
4287 Puente Av., Baldwin Park, CA 91716
Phone: 818-962-9633
Another way to get Koji is mail order. Here is the information for a
mail order supplier:
G.E.M. Cultures
30301 Sherwood Rd., Fort Bragg, CA 95437
Phone: 707-964-2922
Kushi Institute Store
Toll-Free: 1-800-64-KUSHI (1-800-645-8744)
e-mail: store@macrobiotics.org
"The Sake Koji on-line Ordering Center"
These companies make rice Koji fundamentally for making miso (soy-bean
paste),soy-source and/or Amasake.
I usually use about a 1 kg (2 lb) pack of dried rice Koji made by
Miyako Oriental Foods when I homebrew my sake.
According to the mail order catalog of G.E.M. Cultures, they seem also
to provide Koji starter which
enables you to make Koji by yourself at home.
I hope you are succesful.
Kampai with your Sake!
