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!

Best koji for marinade! I use this on chicken, fish and meats! A little goes a long way. Helps break down toughness of the meat and what you're left with is amazing!
