Great marinade for chicken
I marinated chicken pieces in the mixture of Koji, garlic and ginger paste for four hours in fridge and deep-fried them (with a seasoned coating). The meat came out very soft and juicy.

Taste was very good
My first time at Salmon with miso. Yummy.

Delicious multi layered flavor booster
I saw this beautiful Japanese marinade on one of my favorite YouTube shows called dinner party tonight and after purchasing it I can say that when they called it the Marinade of King's, they weren’t joking.I used it on salmon fillets, just coated them, let them marinate, and broiled. The result? It tasted like something you’d pay $40 for at Nobu. The flavor was so rich and layered, like years of expertise packed into one bottle that made dinner for me. And all I had to do was broil some fish on a random Thursday! Yes, please. I’ll definitely be buying more fish now.As I’m writing this, I’ve got chicken and zucchini marinating to test it out again. I’m obsessed. Just a heads-up—if you’re using this don’t add extra salt. It’s already seasoned perfectly. Hands down, one of the best food “shortcuts” ever.It takes them a long time to make, but I get to enjoy it instantly. Highly recommend!

Needs to put in fridge asap or it smells funny.
This paste will spoil even if the cap isn't opened. I'm guessing the hot weather will make pantry items go bad quickly.

A mainstay in the fridge for us
We have ordered this many times, happy with the price and quality and like the squeeze package option over a tub

Very weird texture and flavor**UPDATE** Miso flavor is AWESOME and no weird texture
**UPDATE*** Since the Miso is being reviewed under the same item I need to add that the Miso flavored is quite AWESOME!! Highly recommend the Miso flavor. I guess I need to tray an order another plain to see if I just got a weird one shipped the first time. Non Miso review- I normally just buy Koji fermented with just salt. This one had sugar in it as well and I wanted to try it. Unfortunately it is like thick pates and does not come out or spread well in a baggie on the meat. I am new to the sugar added and tasted a bit strange to me like playdoh. Had my cousin taste it and he said it was "ok" but without the sugar brand was more Umami.*

Not sure about this
I need to try this a few times to know. I would say let it marinate overnight and put on a thin coat of this. Don't let it get clunky and chunky. A THIN coat would make it work better as a marinade
