I'd be more inclined to try this, real dry aging instead of using the fungus(???) or enzymes(???) in Koji.

Here's a video where they used it on beef, chicken, and shrimp....

He left the Koji on the protein much longer than others have.

I just can't get past paying $22 for a plastic bag.

So far I've struck out at my local Asian Markets...   I'm kinda surprised that the two I've checked with don't have it.  The one I stopped at today didn't seem to know what I was even talking about, when I told him I'd just order it online, he did say if I got a picture of the package, he might be able to get it.   I went on to say that if I found the stuff to be useful, I'd let him know.  He seemed willing to try and stock some if he could... so that was kinda encouraging.    I figure if it really is useful, it would be nice to have a local source for it.

That's not surprising - it's a specialty item even in the asian market. When I was making sake I looked around Oakland and SF Chinatown's and couldn't find it and had to order it online.

I went ahead and ordered two 20 ounce containers of 'Cold Mountain'... from a place called ChefShop  , not sure how long shipping will be, it was flat rate $9.99, which is why I bought two containers , I figured cost per ounce is less and... well I'm kinda optimistic about this stuff for some reason.  At the very least I'm very intrigued by this... especially if it can improve or enhance the taste and texture of other things besides beef.

  I think I could have gotten some using my wife's Amazon prime  from one place , but the price really wasn't any better, I'd have gotten half as much for 30% less money, dind't seem like that great of a value.

Anyway,  While I ended up spending $30 total, I personally see this as potentially much better for me than trying to age the traditional way, or in UMAI bags...   Often all I want to do is a couple steaks, I don't really want to have to buy $100 or more worth of meat to try and get a more exotic tasting hunk of meat to eat for dinner.

  I'll let you know how my experience goes.

My wife has two Aunts that live in Japan,  one is going to get me a bit of information on how much it would cost to ship me some.  Apparently its pretty cheap to obtain over there, I'm just not sure of shipping costs.

A little update on the progress of my Koji rice order...   I placed it with ChefShop last Friday ( a week ago ), at that time I promptly got email verifying the order.  By Tuesday afternoon, I still hadn't heard anything further from the, the  order status hadn't changed either ( web information for the order ).  So, I called them to find out what was going on with the order.   I was told that they were out of the Koji rice and were scheduled to get some in that day, and that if all went to plan, they would ship my order out later that afternoon.    He went on to say that they've seen a uptick in orders of the Koji rice and wasn't sure why... I gave him a brief description of what I was going to do with it, and how I came to know about what I was going to try, etc...    Anyway, sure enough they did send my order out late Tuesday, ( late west cost time Tuesday )... it's going UPS ground and is scheduled to arrive at my place this coming Tuesday the 24th.

I got my Koji rice yesterday,  I went to get a steak to try it on, but they wanted  $13/lb for choice steak so I passed for now.  That may seem silly since I just spent  $32 on 40 ounces of moldy rice.

I'm hoping to get a couple steaks Friday coat them with koji am cook them Sunday.

I didn't realize they made this stuff in California.

Mine does not even show that it has shipped yet, so the Dry Age should be done about the time I get mine!
