About us

Mimi Ferments wurde 2017 von Markus Shimizu in Berlin gegründet. In seinem Laden und seiner Fermentationswerkstatt im Berliner Stadtteil Wedding produziert er mit seinem Team Miso, Sojasoße, Mirin und andere ausgewählte Produkte, die von zahlreichen Köchen geschätzt werden. Zudem vermittelt Markus Shimizu in Workshops regelmäßig die verschiedenen Aspekte der Fermentation. Seine Partnerin Reiko Kanazawa organisiert, gestaltet und kuratiert Kunst, Dinner und Performances.

All our products are handmade and crafted by us in Berlin. The ingredients are particularly important to us, and we place great emphasis on high quality. That is why we use only certified organic ingredients and, wherever possible, regionally sourced raw materials directly from farmers. Our guiding principle is to produce natural, healthy and tasty products. That is why we use no additives, but instead ferment naturally, taking our time. Some of our products even mature for several years! None of our fermented products are pasteurised, so they are all full of live cultures and very healthy.

At our shop in Berlin-Wedding, we’ll be happy to advise you, and you can try out and buy all our products there.

Our opening hours: Monday – Friday, 10.00 – 18.00
