Izakaya Yuzuki is the first Japanese restaurant


in the US to introduce a unique menu featuring
dishes prepared using "koji". "Koji" is the
fermenting agent used to make many essential
Japanese foods, beverages and seasonings
including sake, miso and shoyu (soy sauce).
The use of "koji" brings out the "umami" of the
ingredients, enhancing their flavor and making
the food soft and gentle to your body. The
preparation of "koji" is a delicate task that
demands much time and close attention. As a
result, this beautiful and sophisticated
tradition has been cast off for faster, cheaper
methods of fermentation to mass produce
inexpensive seasonings, foods and sake at the
cost of the subtle flavors and rich nutrients of
naturally fermented products using "koji". We,
at Izakaya Yuzuki, take pride in preparing our
dishes using real "koji" so our customers can
enjoy the true flavors and tastes of Japan.
