About Us

All our products are handmade and handcrafted by us in Berlin. The ingredients are particularly important to us and we attach great importance to high quality. That's why we only use certified organic ingredients and, where possible, regionally produced raw materials directly from farmers. Our principle is to produce natural, healthy and flavourful products. That is why we do not use any additives, but ferment naturally and with plenty of time. Some of our products even mature for several years! None of our ferments are pasteurised, so they are all alive and very healthy.

Mimi Ferments was founded by Markus Shimizu in Berlin in 2017. In his shop and fermentation workshop in Berlin-Wedding, he and his team produce miso, soya sauce, mirin and other selected products that are appreciated by numerous chefs. Markus Shimizu also regularly teaches the various aspects of fermentation in workshops and, together with his partner Reiko Kanazawa, organises events that combine food, art and social aspects.

We will be happy to advise you in our shop in Berlin-Wedding and you can try and buy all our products there.

Our opening hours: Monday - Friday, 10:00 - 18:00
