About this workshop:Let&#x27;s make fermented soybean paste, miso from freshly made koji by Marika Groen. The workshop begins with a tasting of different types of miso and continues with an intro to the essential ingredient koji, a fungus called Aspergillus oryzae. You will also taste typical Japanese pickles with koji, and Marika will explain how enzymes carry out the fermentation process and how to cook with miso and other koji condiments when it&#x27;s ready.Learn the art of a triangle that microbes, time and salt play each role to bring wonder in colour and taste while aging. You will explore the unknown depth of flavour from home kitchen to a professional chef level.About MARIKA GROEN KAWAGUCHI:Marika Groen is a kojiologist, travelling brewer, photographer, writer, and the head of Malica Ferments. She was born in Japan, and is now based in Europe, where she shares philosophy and mythology of koji-making through three-day “Kojiology&#x27;&#x27; classes. In between instructing koji, miso, shoyu, doburoku sake, natto and a broad range of fermentation classes, she organises an annual fermentation tour with brewery visits, fieldwork, and wild-crafting tours. In 2021 she published the artistic manual Cosy Koji as a visual collaboration with her fellow fermentaters.MARIKA GROEN KAWAGUCHI
