Japanese Fermentation Workshop

Learn the art of fermenting miso and tsukemono in Collingwood!



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 15 guests     $120


Dive into the savoury world of Japanese fermentation and discover the ancient techniques that transform simple ingredients into umami-rich treasures.
We’ll begin with the intriguing world of koji, the mould that’s the cornerstone of many Japanese delicacies, to make your very own miso from scratch. You’ll master the process of preparing soybeans and unlocking the full potential of koji’s health benefits.
Then it's time to get pounding as you learn to throw down your miso to deoxidize before shaping your miso. The best part? You’ll carry a piece of the tradition home with your very own ceramic pot brimming with miso that will mature into robust flavours over time.
But the fun doesn’t stop at miso. You’ll roll up your sleeves to craft Tsukemono, the vibrant pickled delights that are staples at Japanese tables. Translated to "pickled things, " these tasty treats are more than just sides; they’re a cultural foray into the simplicity and elegance of Japanese cuisine. Learn to pickle a variety of fresh vegetables, creating perfect pairs for meals and drinks.
By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with the skills to continue fermenting at home, a batch of your homemade miso, and a treasure trove of knowledge in an ebook filled with recipes and variations to experiment with.
Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.
