Can I use this to make miso paste? does it come with the Aspergillus oryzae bacterium?

Hi, This is all the info we have on this product: NGREDIENTS water, rice koji (BARLEY), salt, alcohol. NUTRITIONAL Per 100g Energy 745kj Fat 0.5g - of which saturates 0.2g Carbohydrate 40g - of which sugar 27g Protein 2.9g Salt 9.4g

Is this sold as two packs (500g x2) or one pack (500g x1)?

This is for one 500g pack. unfortunately, we are unable to delete the misleading picture.

can i use this to make Amazake ?

I don't think this would be suitable due to the salt content. I have previously used dry koji rice which you can also buy from this platform.

How long does this product last?

It is a kind of Fermented food product so last quite long. Usually 3 months if you keep it in the fridge but if it doesn't have some different smell than the new or started some mold, better to give up. I actually used it within 6 months but had no problem at all.
