Tips for cooking
Adjust the amount of salted rice malt (shio-koji) to your liking. This recipe uses honey. Please be careful not to let children below the age of 1 (infants) consume them. You can substitute honey with sugar, but since the sweetness varies depending on the type, we recommend adjusting the taste to your liking.
