You have my interest. This has to be one of the most intriguing things i have seen in a long time. If that even gets close, there is much less waste, and you don't hae to do a whole primal to get a good dry aged steak. Googling Koji rice now.

IIRC it's rice with a special mold on it. while it will alter the steak it's not nearly the same as dry aging.
There's a few YouTube videos on it.

Well thanks to you....or maybe it's this bourbon....and Amazon, I have some koji headed my way to try this.

No bourbon here, yet. All though that does seem like a good idea. I still had to try this. I have wasted $9 on sillier things.

Curious what the Brethren Intelligentsia come up with. I've yet to try it myself.
Allegedly a Fish Sauce and Koji combo is killer

Cook's Illustrated also has good write up on the science behind it. (No paywall)

I have used koji to fast age a steak.
It definitely does something. After 48 hours, my testing yielded a very noticeable change in flavor and some change in texture. That said, it was not at all like a fully dry aged steak. FWIW, I tested the steaks using a sous vide cook and a super hot sear 1/2” off the coals in a kamado. Standard grilling or reverse sear grilled may yield different results.

Interesting. Wouldn't have occurred to me. My wife and I used to make miso with koji (and I'm pretty sure a few other things).
Low cost of entry, for sure.
But it doesn't appear to come out like this in terms of color (37 days):
