      Not actually malt, but all the JEs say "malted rice; malt" or similar.
I think I'll amend all the entries referring to 麹 to say "kōji" rather than "mould".
    • Refs
      All my JEs have "kōji".

      i don't think that should be marked expl.  or if it is, it should be moved to the last gloss.  i preferred it as it was
