What you'll do
Dive into the savoury world of Japanese fermentation and discover the ancient techniques that transform simple ingredients into umami-rich treasures. We’ll begin with the intriguing world of koji, the mould that’s the cornerstone of many Japanese delicacies, to make your very own miso from scratch. You’ll master the process of preparing soybeans and unlocking the full potential of koji’s health benefits. Then it's time to get pounding as you learn to throw down your miso to deoxidize before shaping your miso. The best part? You’ll carry a piece of the tradition home with your very own ceramic pot brimming with miso that will mature into robust flavours over time. But the fun doesn’t stop at miso. You’ll roll up your sleeves to craft Tsukemono, the vibrant pickled delights that are staples at Japanese tables. Translated to "pickled things, " these tasty treats are more than just sides; they’re a cultural foray into the simplicity and elegance of Japanese cuisine. Learn to pickle a variety of fresh vegetables, creating perfect pairs for meals and drinks. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with the skills to continue fermenting at home, a batch of your homemade miso, and a treasure trove of knowledge in an ebook filled with recipes and variations to experiment with. Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.
What you'll get
- All ingredients provided - A ceramic pot and jar to take your fermented goods home in - An ebook filled with everything covered as well as additional recipes for altering flavour profiles! - A batch of Miso and Tsukemono to ferment and enjoy at home

Recent reviews of Japanese Fermentation Workshop
- 5/5 from Sarah Louise Ricketts, attended Mar 2024: This workshop was a birthday present for a dear friend, and I accompanied her. Jess is a wonderful teacher, clear, concise, and in firm control of the how, why, when, and what else we should know of making a daikon pickle and a jar of miso. I am neuro-divergent and often lag a bit in workshops, but not this one. And there was no pressure, either. I felt no anxiety, just wonderfully supported by Jess's presence, her generous spirit and attention to detail. I highly recommend this class and am looking forward to attending something with Jess in future. Great value for money. I love the venue too.
- 5/5 from Jenny Chan, attended Feb 2024: I came to the course looking for healthier options for an immune system boost. It’s an acquired taste but I do like the flavour of the take home bottled tsukemono pickles and I’m looking forward to the bottled miso once it ferments in 3 months. If you have an interest in fermented foods then this unique class will provide a good introduction. Remember to bring a vegetable knife and chopping board for the Japanese radish, but bottles and ingredients are all provided. Jess has alot of healthy food tips that she will share with you. The E-Book received is a handy reference.
- 5/5 from Sylvia Chin, attended Feb 2024: The class was really fun and informative! I never knew making miso and pickling vegetables could be so easy and the sample provided gave us an idea on what to expect and what we could make with our pickled vegetables and miso. We are definitely going to try making it on our own at home. We were told that we will receive an e-book after the workshop. Would be great if we had received that on the day of the workshop or at the end of the workshop though.
