【Advanced】Koji Making Workshop

Koji has been treasured in Japan for thousands of years as it creates essential tastes and flavours the Japanese cuisine totally owes to. In fact, the Japanese food culture we have today wouldn’t have existed as, without koji, none of sake, miso, shoyu, mirin, rice vinegar and many other essential Japanese condiments could have been brewed.

After the revelation of koji magic via series of recent publications, it is now treasured globally as it has huge potential to make any food tastier.

This is the koji advanced class for those of you who already has some experience of making koji and aiming at enabling you to fine tune your koji making for your own goal. Depending on your plan to use koji, the optimum koji (ie. enzyme balance) is different. I will talk about the various factors which impact the enzyme balance.

The following topics will be covered. The class takes approximately 3.5 hours.

  • Reviewing koji making process in relation to koji growing phases
  • Koji’s enzyme production mechanism
  • Why temperature control is important?
  • Why humidity control is important?
  • Considerations for choosing the substrates
  • Considerations for choosing koji starters
  • How koji has been used in traditional ferments in Japan
  • Tasting homemade koji ferments (shoyu, mirin, vinegar, miso)
  • Some example of short term ferments (Shio-koji, Amazake)
  • Bread koji making
  • Nut/Seed koji
