Information
TöuFood Umami Spores contain Aspergillus oryzae spores, the essential mold culture used to ferment grains and legumes in traditional Japanese cuisine. These spores are the starting point for producing koji, the enzymatic base behind iconic ingredients like miso, soy sauce, sake, shio koji, and amazake.
When inoculated onto steamed rice, barley, or soybeans, TöuFood Umami Spores initiate a natural fermentation process that breaks down starches and proteins into sugars and amino acids, creating rich, complex umami flavors and enhancing aroma, texture, and digestibility.
Perfect for chefs and fermentation enthusiasts, these spores offer complete control over the koji-making process, allowing for experimentation and the creation of custom ferments. Use them to craft your own shio koji, aged sauces, or even modern flavor bases for innovative dishes.

Notice
Avoid using a twisting motion when cutting, as this can damage the blade.
Always choose the appropriate knife for the task, cutting bones, frozen foods, or other hard items requires a suitable blade. Images shown are for reference only.
Since each knife is handcrafted, variations in color, weight, pattern, and size are natural.
Use a soft plastic or wooden cutting board to help maintain the sharpness of your knife’s edge.
Avoid exposing the knife to sudden temperature changes, as it can alter the steel’s structure.
