NOTES if you like soy sauce, chances are youll like shoyu koji even more. - at it's most basic you'd use shoyu koji as a 1-1 replacement for your shoyu (soy sauce)- as i mentioned in the video, the flavor is going to be slightly different, in a good way- you can even puree your shoyukoji to get a smooth almost gravy like consistency if you dont want rice bits in your sauce.
