Kanji Making Kit FAQs

How Do I Know When Kanji Is Ready?
Kanji is ready when it tastes pleasantly sour, slightly fizzy, and tangy. Start tasting from Day 3 onwards. Most ferments are ready between 3–5 days, depending on the temperature.
How Do I Consume Kanji?
Drink 100–200 ml per day, ideally on an empty stomach or before meals for best probiotic benefits.
Does Kanji Help With Constipation Or Bloating?
Yes. Kanji is rich in natural probiotics that support gut health, helping to regulate bowel movements and reduce bloating or gas.
What Does Kanji Taste Like?
Kanji has a tangy, slightly sour flavor with a mild mustardy kick. Think of it as a savory probiotic punch—refreshing and full of character.
Will My Jar Arrive Intact?
Yes, we take special care to pack the glass fermentation jar securely with protective packaging to ensure it arrives safe and intact. In the rare case it arrives damaged, we’ll send a full replacement—no questions asked.
Can I Consume Kanji If I’m On Medication?
In most cases, Kanji is safe to consume alongside medications, but if you're on antibiotics or have a medical condition, it's best to consult your doctor before introducing fermented foods.
What Does the Airlock Do?
The airlock allows gases (like carbon dioxide) to escape during fermentation while preventing outside air or contaminants from getting in. It helps ensure a safe, spoilage-free fermentation.
