Theme: “Making Miso, Embracing Time”

 “Experience the magic of Japanese fermentation – Make your own miso!”

🌱 The Experience

Discover the beauty of waiting – fermentation takes time, just like personal growth. Feel the natural ingredients – touch the soybeans, smell the koji, and appreciate the salt crystals. Witness and recognize the transformation of miso over time and reflect on your own journey.

🌸 Workshop Flow

1. Engaging with Ingredients (Soybeans, Koji, Salt)

Crush soybeans by hand, feel the texture, and embrace the aroma of koji. Learn about the origin of each ingredient and appreciate the natural blessings behind them. “The warmth of your hands helps the fermentation process.”

2. Kneading the Miso Paste Mindfully

Breathe deeply and enjoy the process of kneading without rushing. A calming and nostalgic experience, bringing a sense of childhood joy.

3. Preparing the Miso for Fermentation

Shape your miso and store it, imagining how its flavors will deepen in 3–6 months. Reflect on how, just like miso, we change and grow over time.
