PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel method for producing koji, which method is able to koji more economically and eliminates any heavy work which continues until late at night by renewing the conventional idea that the most excellent production method for koji is performed as follows: manual switchback work performed in conjunction with the laid fermentation process is continued with patience night and day, and temperature rise of steamed rice due to growing of koji mold (aspergillus) is suppressed by such heavy steady work to prevent the steamed rice from becoming packed in blocks.SOLUTION: The method for producing koji comprises: steaming washed rice, cooling the steamed rice, planting koji mold (aspergillus) in the rice, dividing the planted rice into 30 or more subdivided compartments of a subdivided fermentation laid container 1 with the top opened to ensure sufficient heat radiation, and leave the container in an environment at room temperature without performing active cooling by forcible ventilation to allow the koji mold to grow.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
