Love it
"I like to rub about a teaspoonful into the meat and let it sit for a while; it tenderizes the meat while retaining its flavor and moisture. It burns easily, so I remove it before grilling the meat."

"Rubbing the cheap and tough meat with Shio Koji and leave it for 30 minutes to over night. The meat will be tender and jucy. The shio Koji is the Japanese healthy ingredients. Google Shio Koji to find out how and what you can use it for. I absolutely love it!"
