Miso Making Experience

Make your own one-of-a-kind miso

Experience the process of making miso, a fermented seasoning essential to the Japanese diet. In the past, miso was made in individual households, and each household had its own unique flavor. The taste of the miso that you prepare and grow yourself will be truly special!
In this hands-on experience, you will learn the important process of mashing, mixing, and preparing the ingredients from a true miso craftsman. You will take your prepared miso (about 1 kg) home and let it ferment for 6 to 8 months to complete the process. This experience tour is held at the Meijiya Shoyu Factory, a beautiful wood structure which has been designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan and where you can enjoy its over 100-year-old history.
★Please make sure to check the regulations regarding bringing miso into your home country before applying.
