    Has anyone tried fermenting tomato water to build acidity and umami for a sauce or broth?

      That sounds really good, Nico. I hadn’t thought about fermenting tomato with koji, but now I want to try it. The alcohol-like smell would probably throw me off at first 😅 Have you compared it with tomato fermented only with salt? I’d love to know how much the koji changes the umami and acidity.
