Hands on Miso Workshop

Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 10 AM to 12:30 PM
Japanese Friendship Garden San Diego
$75 to $90

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn all about miso, a magical fermented bean paste that originated in Japan many centuries ago. Miso is full of umami and is used to flavor everything from soups to marinades and salad dressings, stir-fries, to eggs.

Join Austin Durant, author and founder of Fermenters Club as he takes you into the wild world of fermentation!

Learn: We will talk about the history of miso, its many different forms, and then make a large batch using various legumes.

Taste: You'll get to taste various misos to understand the fermentation process.

Do: You'll get to pack a mason jar full of miso to take home (but you'll have to wait a year to eat it)!

Eat: Then we'll enjoy one of the most popular miso dishes-- homemade miso soup!

Includes your own take-home jar of miso!
