## Overview

Hanamaruki Gluten Free Liquid Shio Koji is a 16.9 fl oz bottle of enzyme-rich, fermented rice malt seasoning from Japan. This gluten-free, non-GMO liquid shio koji enhances umami flavor, tenderizes proteins, and serves as a versatile salt alternative, making it a must-have for modern kitchens seeking authentic Japanese taste with a health-conscious edge.

## Description

Hanamaruki's Liquid Shio Koji is a unique and convenient preparation of traditional shio koji. Hanamaruki makes shio koji, places it in a sake bag and then presses it to get only the enzyme-rich liquid. You can use this to marinate meats, season broths or even add to meatballs or gyoza filling. Shio koji is a traditional Japanese ingredient made with a fermented rice malt (koji) and salt (shio). The enzymes contained in shio koji break down proteins to draw umami out of meat and fish. Hikari Miso’s Shio Koji is in liquid form with the tiny half-dissolved grains of rice malt and packaged in a convenient plastic bottle. It can also be used in place of salt by substituting two teaspoons of shio koji for every teaspoon of salt. This easy-to-use aspect is another reason the traditional ingredient recaptured.

Review: The secret “umph” - This product fills the gaps when my koji rice supply is low. Aside from providing rich umami flavor, I value the enzyme rich character which makes things more digestible for my iffy stomach. Its is the secret “umph” in my cooking. Its a great alternative to salt or soy sauce. From tenderizing meat, to enhancing flavor, I use it for marinades, dressings, and broths.
Review: Amazing new staple in my kitchen! - Hanamaruki is the only company that produces a liquid shio koji seasoning like this, with no rice solids. Because it is crystal clear, it can be used in much the same way you might use soy sauce, and I find that mixing it with soy sauce in my favorite Japanese recipes creates a new and interesting combination of flavors. There's really nothing else like this on the market, except to say that the closest thing I've had, other than traditional shio koji, is maybe a 100% wheat shiro shoyu or "golden tamari". I've been cooking Japanese food all my life, but only discovered this product in my mid 50s, and from the first taste, I knew it would be a permanent staple in my pantry. Highly recommended for people who enjoy Japanese cuisine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You’ve Got to Try This—It Tenderizes and Adds Umami!
*by N***O on July 19, 2025*

I bought this product for the first time, and I love it! I’ve been struggling to make tough beef tender—I’ve tried pounding it, marinating with olive oil, onions, even milk—but shio koji worked the best. I marinated half-inch beef ribs with the bone for 20 minutes using shio koji, sake, and mirin, then grilled them on the BBQ. The result was not only tender but also full of rich umami flavor! I also made an easy pickle by slicing cucumbers and marinating them with shio koji, a little vinegar, and sugar, then chilling them in the fridge for 2 hours. I highly recommend shio koji for all kinds of dishes!
