Would you like to make your own miso from scratch?

Miso is a fundament element of Japanese cuisine also known as a probiotic fermented superfood that helps support digestion and gut health.

The miso will be made using organic soybeans, kōji (rice inoculated with Aspergillus Oryzae), and natural sea salt. You will also learn about the properties of kōji fermentation and its benefits. In the end, you will create a jar of Miso to take home and ferment which will be ready in six+ months' time.

In this in-person Miso workshop you will learn -

○ Miso Tasting - Understanding different types of Miso

Kinu Yukawa is a Japanese chef and cookery teacher from Kobe, Japan. She ventured into the world of food early in life and fostered the basics of cooking from her grandmother. Later she trained French cuisine at Ecole Ritz Escoffier Paris and traditional Japanese cuisine in Kyoto.

She appreciates the importance of cooking with vegetables that are in season and at the height of their flavour. By respecting the seasons and their offerings, food nourishes and brings harmony to the body, which is the principle of "和食 Washoku" <the harmony of food> .

Very much enjoyed the course. Kinu was an excellent teacher, she explained the recipe, gave us tips we can use in other cooking and patiently showed us how to create a delicious curry. I would highly recommend the class.

Amazing!

This is the 6th class I have attended online with Sozai and taught by Kinu. She is an amazing and patient teacher, taking her time to go through each step and happily repeating anything you might have confusion with. Each class I have left with something tasty and delicious, with many of the recipes becoming weekly favourites in my household :)

My 7 years old son enjoyed making Temari sush!i

I am Japanese, and every time I participate, I discover something new. Kinu's meticulous teaching, her easy-to-approach demeanor for questions, and her calm handling of students' mistakes are always impressive. I appreciate learning to cook with British ingredients. I love Kinu's emphasis on healthy seasoning with minimal additives and her beautiful plating skills.

Thanks to her, my 7-year-old son learned to make Temari sushi. He now prepares it for both lunch and dinner, gaining newfound confidence. It was truly a great opportunity, and I'm grateful for having participated. Thank you so much!
