have found the most appetizing copy ever to appear on a food package
I have never heard of this food product in my life it sounds equal parts appealing and disgusting, but also

I was actually just watching a video with this. It's how you make miso, along with beans obviously. Tho it makes me wonder, what motherfucker saw their moldy rice and went "I'm putting you in beans."
Can't get out of bed in the morning without a nice fragrant white bloom of apergillus oryzae mold waiting for me
OK so to clarify here because it seems the commenters are also confused: You don't eat koji. It's more an ingredient, than a foodstuff itself, like yeast. It's used to provide the live culture for a number of things like miso, sake, I think some kinds of soy sauce, and other fermented things.
There's a really fun manga called Moysasimon: Tales of Agriculture which centers a lot around agricultural microbiology and the main character is accompanied by a big happy koji mold cell because he grew up around a sake brewery. It's really cute.
I want all fermented food products to have blubs like this.
