Needless to say, this is not an easy substrate for the fungus, but this strain has been bred to grow best on such a substrate for a considerable time.<\/p>\n<p>It takes only three days to grow (normally it takes four days).<\/p>\n<p>With soy sauce there are more factors in what is needed from a strain. Low sugar consumption is desired, which leaves more in the final sauce and for the yeast. High proteolytic power is also needed, so our Japanese suppliers breed specifically for these needs.<br \/>\nNOTE! It does not have to be soybeans; it can be other types of beans as well.<\/p>\n<p>Easy to dose.<br \/>\nChoose between bag sizes: the one containing 25 g is enough for 5 kg of cooked substrate and gives about 8 litres of sauce, the one containing 100 g is enough for 20 kg of cooked substrate and gives about 16 litres (the litres stated depend on your recipe). The culture contains koji spores and rice flour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soy sauce koji spores best suited for soy, tamari, shoyu or umami sauce as we call it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30438,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[210,257,207,253],"product_tag":[328,302],"class_list":["post-30437","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-equipment","product_cat-koji","product_cat-miso-koji-and-tamari","product_cat-starter-cultures","product_tag-koji","product_tag-spore","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/30437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=30437"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=30437"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.njordstorp.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=30437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
