Japan is often known as a country of longevity. Did you know that one of the keys to this is fermented foods? Among them, miso plays an especially important role in supporting Japanese health.
While you’re in Japan, why not learn how to make miso in a way that is healthy, delicious, and fun? In this class, the certified instructor carefully teaches you easy tips so you can make miso at home as well. You will take home about 500 g of the miso you make during the class.
In addition to the recipe, you will learn about koji, the foundation of miso, the history of miso, its health benefits, and the differences in miso styles across various regions of Japan.
After making miso, you can relax and refresh with an amazake yogurt dessert. Amazake is a naturally sweet fermented drink made from rice koji, allowing you to experience the wonderful world of Japanese fermentation.
This class offers a meaningful way to deepen your understanding of Japanese food and culture.
