miso workshop 18.05.2025

In this workshop we will make miso paste together in the traditional Japanese style . All participants will receive their own homemade miso made from fresh organic koji rice and steamed organic soybeans in a jar to take home and let it mature there. Please be aware that this workshop will be held in German.

The history of miso, the fermentation process and the health benefits of traditionally made soybean paste are expertly explained. You can also try dozens of different organic miso variations, from traditionally made soybean miso (from young to old) to experimental vegetable misos.

Markus Shimizu , the owner of mimi ferments , will lead this course and share his many years of experience with you. He will also give you tips and tricks for production. You will also receive a handout to read.

A warm Japanese miso soup as well as small miso and koji snacks are served. Drinks are also provided .

What is miso?
Miso is a fermented, nutritious soybean paste that has always been important in Japanese culture and cuisine. Made from soybeans, rice or grains, this ferment has given rise to a wide variety of local and family recipes and uses in Japan, resulting in many different flavors and colors of miso pastes. What they all have in common, however, is the use of the koji fungus as a starter culture and the general method of making this ferment.
