Learn about the rich history of miso and make your own miso and shio koji using British-grown legumes and rice koji. You’ll take home your own jar of miso and shio koji, along with the skills to experiment with different legumes and flavours in the future.
The class covers jar preparation, ingredient ratios, and creative ways to incorporate miso into your cooking. You’ll also explore misosuke (miso pickling) and learn how to make a flavour-packed miso soup that preserves all the health benefits.
With expert tips and recipe inspiration, you’ll build your “fermentation intuition” and discover how to tailor miso-making to your taste. The course includes a selection of tasters to enjoy along the way!
We ask participants to bring 2 glass jars (a 500ml jar for miso and a 150ml jar for shio koji), as this helps us to keep the cost of the course down and encourages the re-use of old jars.
It is always better to have a jar that is too big rather than too small.
What you'll get
A jar of homemade miso and a jar of shio koji to take home, plus tasters of miso soup and misosuke pickles.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly class
What to bring
Two jars (roughly 500ml and 150ml in size)

The Fermentarium is an independent organisation dedicated to promoting the small-scale production of “real” fermented food and drink. The adventure began in 2014, beginning with sourdough bread and pizza making.
Owners, Simon and David, wanted to share their knowledge and experience with others and started running lactic fermentation classes. Eventually, they were joined by Anna in 2016 and added further classes to their repertoire including kombucha, soft fermented drinks, cultured condiments and dairy ferments.
They run interactive and exciting classes that share the love for fermented foods with others. Whether you're a newbie or well experienced, anyone can join. Corporate events and private courses can also be catered for.
