Aspergillus luchuensis
In fermented foods from East Asia, A. luchuensis is a common starter culture. It is grown on steamed white rice to create Koji, used in the production of soy sauce and soybean paste, and specialty foods such as Puerh tea, Makgeolli, Meju, and Awamori. Unlike its Aspergillus relatives it does not produce toxins and is considered safe for human consumption.
