Exploring Koji: Miso and Shio Koji

Dive into the world of miso and shio koji in this hands-on workshop! Learn about the rich history of miso, and make your own miso and shio koji using British-grown legumes and rice koji. You’ll take home your own jar of miso and shio koji, along with the skills to experiment with different legumes and flavours in the future.

The class covers jar preparation, ingredient ratios, and creative ways to incorporate miso into your cooking. You’ll also explore misosuke (miso pickling) and learn how to make a flavour-packed miso soup that preserves all the health benefits.

With expert tips and recipe inspiration, you’ll build your “fermentation intuition” and discover how to tailor miso-making to your own taste. The course includes a selection of tasters to enjoy along the way!

We ask participants to bring 2 glass jars (a 500ml jar for miso and a 150ml jar for shio koji), as this helps us to keep the cost of the course down and encourages the re-use of old jars. 

It is always better to have a jar that is too big rather than too small.
