From "Country of Rice", AKITA.

Akita has long cultivated a rich fermentation culture, thanks to its hot, humid summers, harsh winters, and abundant nature—ideal for rice growing. In this environment, generations have passed down “grandmothers’ wisdom,” creating nutritious, long-lasting foods like Kan Koji. Ando Jozo Brewery continues this legacy, using 100% Akita-grown rice, crafting their own koji, and embracing natural, additive-free brewing that honors both tradition and the land.

Made by Ando Jozo Brewery, established in 1853, a specialist in traditional fermented foods like miso, soy sauce, and Japanese pickles. Kan Koji is a richer, sweeter version of Shio Koji—made by blending in steamed rice for a thicker, more adhesive texture. "Kan" refers to the cold winter season when it was traditionally crafted by grandmothers in Japan’s Tohoku region.
