To make Koji Kin you need to start off with fresh spores. At this poing make koji rice like normal (see my video on making Koji Rice:    • How to make Koji Rice  ).

Once you make Koji Rice continue the incubation process another 48 hours (check daily to see the progree) at the same values as Koji Rice. 85f with 80% humidity. You will start to notice that the rice will turn yellow then green spores will begin to form. As soon as you have uniform coverage of the green koji spores then you can remove it from the chamber.

Break it up into chunks and dry for a few days. Once dried using a blender or spice grinder blend everything up together to make a fine powder. This will be your Koji Kin for future batches of Koji rice...

Store in airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
