Unopened: Store in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator for about 6 months as a guideline.After opening: Seal it in a Ziplock bag and store in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. Please use it up within about 6 months.Q2: How should I store the finished rice koji? If you're using it within 1-2 days: Store in a cool, dark place below 15°C.If not using for 2 days to 3 weeks: Store in the refrigerator.If not using for more than 3 weeks: It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.Q3: Can I drink the Koji starter directly? No, it's not intended for drinking. Please refrain from consuming it directly. For supplements, we recommend Ueda's naturally fermented lactobacillus or Mobile Mygurt. Q4: How much Koji starter should I use when making rice koji? The amount of Koji starter should be approximately 1.3g-10g per 1kg of uncooked rice (about 0.2g-2g per cup). If you're inexperienced, using a larger amount is advisable. There's no issue with using more starter. About the final yield:Steaming the raw rice will roughly increase its volume by 1.8 to 2 times. If it successfully turns into koji, the volume will be about 0.9 times that amount. Therefore, the finished koji will be about 1.62 (1.8 x 0.9) to 1.8 times the amount of the original raw rice. For example, if you start with 1kg of raw rice, the finished koji will weigh between 1.62 and 1.8 kg. (These are approximate amounts; the actual yield may vary depending on the water absorption, steaming, and fermentation conditions.) Q5: My finished rice koji has turned reddish-brown and smells off. Can I still use it? It's likely that contamination has occurred during the process. Do not use it. Sterilize your fermentation tools well, and try using more Koji starter next time (about 3-4 times the usual amount). This will make the environment more conducive for fermentation. Also, pay attention to temperature control during fermentation.
