I would have preferred it if the sachets had indicated the quantity of spores according to the raw and uncooked substrate.

The spores are doing the job.
I finally succeed to make the mold at my first attempt.
It took more time than by the book, perhaps the rice was not cooked enough. I was surprised by the increase in temperature when fermenting, after 36 hours I needed no more heating of my fermenting box, the challenge was keeping the temperature under 35°C.
I experimented the Sio Koji paste to mature meat but found no special flavour to it.
I’ll give a try again with vegetables, and thereafter meat .

My first order got lost, but Viktor so kind, that he sent me another one free of charge. The koji at hour 33 looks beautiful, smells great. I dunno if anyone wondered, but the second mail (since i ordered via mail) arrived in 3 days, so i can’t recommend enough these guys!

I’d always bought ready-made rice koji to make my miso and never though of making from scratch with koji spores. Found your company when I was looking for soybeans for Natto making and I thought I’d give it a try with this Light Rice Koji Spores too.. So glad I did, as my miso (made 3 types from this packet of spores : Chickpea, Pearl Barley and Soybeans) and they are maturing beautifully. In fact, I have just made another order of this, and red rice koji spores too. Thank you for providing us such high quality spores.

Very good product, I’ve been able to make great koji at home without issues. Also been purchasing this quite a few times and never disappoints. Shipping is fast and cheap. So lucky we have this in Europe!

I made an order which was not tracked and got lost during the Christmas season. fermentation culture was so kind to send another parcel free of charge. As far as the products go there is nothing to say except they seem perfect. I haven’t tried yet the shoyu and miso I made since they are not ready yet but I can clearly see the difference between previous spores I have used

Very good quality spores. Successfully made some rice koji with it using a rice from local production. It took 50 hours at 30C. Definitely coming back when I’m done with this tiny bag.

I use it mainly for koji-cultured pork and miso-ricotta cheese. Very good results and the product is consistent from one purchase to another: in terms of fermentation time, vigour, etc. Highly recommend.

With these spores I managed to make some really aromatic koji and used it to make 20 liters of saké. This is my favourite type of spores.
One thing that I noticed is that depending on temperature and humidity during various stages of incubation and on % of water absorption during soaking, depending on steaming and the drying after steaming, the koji aroma can have different nuances which affect the final product, soo much artisan skill involved!
About fermentationculture: they sell high quality spores with great customer service.

It grows well and makes good Amazake, unfortunately I found out I’m allergic to Koji products. Still, it was a cool experiment.

Used the spores to make white koji rice for the fermentation of brown rice sake
Innoculated white organic short grain rice to make the koji rice – this however took 72 hours but the end result was perfect – pure white koji rice cakes. However the smell was neutral
Then added the white koji rice to brown organic short grain rice and then added some pure laboritory cultivated yeast and let it ferment for two weeks.
Again the end result was excellent but the white koji rice added remained hard while the rest of the brown rice melted (so to speak)
Problem with the hard koji rice is I like to add the lees to my porridge in the morning – the hard koji rice is not that easy to digest

Only praise as products arrived in only a few days. The spores are very active and top quality. Will absolutely be ordering more.

Produced good quality rice koji over 48 hours. Now making miso with it but I have some months to wait before I can tell the result…!

My go to strain for everything. I use it for every type of Miso, short or long aged. The smell is great and depends on the substrate you use. Rice makes a floral-mushroom kinda smell and wheat berries one with fruity notes.

My first attempt at making koji with these spores was great.
