Shio Koji Sauce & Marinade

Gluten-Free Umami-Booster

Rooted in centuries of Japanese fermentation, shio koji is a traditional seasoning made from rice koji, salt, and water, known for its ability to enhance umami while naturally tenderizing ingredients. Umami Insider’s Shio Koji Sauce & Marinade builds on this time-honored technique, combining shio koji with kombu and shiitake extracts to create a deeply savory yet clean and balanced flavor profile. Carefully crafted for both taste and functionality, this sauce delivers a gentle, layered umami that enhances ingredients without overpowering them.

As it marinates, the enzymes in shio koji help break down proteins, resulting in a more tender, juicy texture while allowing flavors to penetrate more deeply. Lightly seasoned with garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper, it adds subtle aroma and depth while maintaining a refined, versatile character.

Shio Koji Sauce & Marinade can be used across a wide range of dishes and cooking styles. Use it to marinate meat, fish, tofu, or vegetables, or incorporate it into grilling, roasting, or steaming for a naturally enhanced finish. It also works beautifully as a base seasoning for simple preparations, bringing out the best in each ingredient. From everyday meals to more delicate dishes, this one bottle delivers effortless umami and a clean, balanced taste inspired by Japanese tradition.

This Sauce & Marinade is Gluten Free.
