David Zilber, co-author of The Noma Guide to Fermentation Koji: the next fermentation game changer Koji Alchemy is the first book devoted to processes, concepts, and recipes for fermenting foods with koji, the microbe behind the delicious umami flavors of soy sauce, miso, mirin, and so many of the ingredients that underpin Japanese cuisine. Chefs Jeremy Umansky and Rich Shih leaders on the culinary power of this unique ingredient deliver a comprehensive look at modern koji use around the world. Using it to rapidly age charcuterie, cheese, and other ferments, they take the magic of koji to the next level, revolutionising the creation of fermented foods and flavour profiles for both professional and home cooks. Koji Alchemy includes: A foreword by best-selling author Sandor Katz ( The Art of Fermentation ) Cutting-edge techniques on koji growing and curing Extensive information on equipment and setting up your kitchen More than 35 recipes for sauces, pastes, ferments, and alcohol Review: Umami Food - Was interested in learning about how to make soy sauce and watched a bunch of stuff on YouTube but this is a real gem. Found it a bit hard to get into the writing style to start with, and it seemed to say a lot without giving much information, but stick with it. Brilliant book. Especially like the way they bring in other contributors. The only down side was the binding as a few pages came out where they have pictures bound into the middle. That said, I expect this to become a well thumbed reference book. Excellent! Review: Very interesting - This is a great reference book and very informative. My only issue is the lack of images. It is very text heavy and sometimes the layout looks like it was done by the author rather than a skilled designer. Overall very interesting and I've already applied a lot of the principles and made some miso. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 21,986 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4 in Industrial Chemistry & Manufacturing Technologies 4 in Organic Food 15 in Food Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 957 Reviews | ## Images ![Koji Alchemy: Rediscovering the Magic of Mold-Based Fermentation(Soy Sauce, Miso, Sake, Mirin, Amazake, Charcuterie) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lsMvZ904L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Umami Food *by S***T on 31 July 2022* Was interested in learning about how to make soy sauce and watched a bunch of stuff on YouTube but this is a real gem.
