What is Rose Koji?
"Rose koji" refers to a type of koji, a fermented food made from grains inoculated with the Aspergillus oryzae mold, where the grains used are specifically rose-flavored rice, meaning the rice has been infused with rose petals or extract during the cooking process, giving the resulting koji a delicate rose aroma and taste.
Key points about rose koji:

Flavor profile:This type of koji will have a subtle floral, rose-like flavor due to the added rose essence.
