Sugi is regarded as most suitable timber for Koji trays and they have been used in professional and commercial production at Koji specialty makers, Miso makers and Sake breweries throughout the history of Japan.

The moisture buffering effect and antibacterial activity of Sugi creates great quality Koji, not like other timbers.
Wooden Koji Buta are rarely on the market for individual usages even in Japan.

This Koji Buta is handmade genuinely with wild Akita Sugi with no adhesives.
The wild Akita Sugi that is used for the Koji Buta is over 150-year-old that has excellent durability.
It is professional and the top quality Koji tray in the world.
