Miso Making Experience and Fermentation Culture
Description
This experience takes place in a real Japanese home kitchen, not a studio or school. Guests learn authentic miso making in a small group, guided by a local host with years of experience. The focus is on everyday Japanese food culture, fermentation, and warm personal interaction, rather than a commercial cooking class. Private sessions can also be arranged upon request.

This was a lovely experience - a chance to learn more about Japanese culture through food. Hiroko-san is such a kind and friendly teacher. We learned about the different kinds of koji that can be used to make miso and made a local style barley koji miso. We also made lunch - a special menu for Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day) and Hiroko-san was kind enough to note our food allergies and adjust as needed. Her English is very good and she also teaches the class in Japanese too if you're interested in practicing. By the end of the class, it felt like sharing a meal with a local friend.
