Nakasono Kojiya

A distinctive flavor crafted from Okinawa-grown koji

What “Nakasone Kojiya” values most is making koji rooted in Okinawa’s environment and food culture. Rather than sourcing koji from outside the prefecture, driven by the desire to “create koji born in Okinawa,” they learned the manufacturing process from scratch and now cultivate yellow koji in Okinawa. Using this koji, they’ve created “KOUJI DIP” and granola that let you enjoy ingredients unique to Okinawa.

"KOUJI DIP": Enjoy the Mild Sweetness of Koji

"KOUJI DIP" is a dip that lets you easily enjoy the appeal of koji. It comes in two varieties: "Red Sweet Potato," which lets you savor the natural flavor of red sweet potato, and "Brown Sugar & Nuts," which combines Okinawan brown sugar with nuts. Simply pair it with bread, crackers, yogurt, or ice cream to add the flavor of koji to your everyday meals.

Perfect as a souvenir from your trip to Okinawa

Created with the goal of offering “koji that can only be found in Okinawa,” Nakasone Kojiya’s products make excellent souvenirs that capture the essence of Okinawan food culture. By combining koji with ingredients that evoke Okinawa—such as red sweet potatoes and brown sugar—you can continue to enjoy the flavors of Okinawa even after you return home from your trip.
