Miso Making Experience and Fermentation Culture

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 is a small-group miso making experience held in a local home kitchen in Fukuoka. You will learn the basics of Japanese miso and fermentation, including ingredients, tools, and simple techniques used in everyday home cooking. During the experience, you will make your own batch of miso to take home. I will guide you step by step, so no cooking experience is needed. You will also enjoy a tasting of homemade miso soup and learn how miso is used in daily Japanese meals. After making miso, we will prepare a simple Japanese home-style lunch together and enjoy it at the table. You can also try local Japanese sake, homemade fruit liqueurs, seasonal juices, and pickles, just like a Japanese family meal. This relaxed, hands-on experience is designed for travelers who want to connect with Japanese food culture in a warm and personal setting.
