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!
