2/15 | VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Making Miso from Scratch

$100.00

In this workshop, we’ll make homemade miso from scratch. You’ll learn about this long-standing process of Japanese fermentation that is rewarded with time and patience. Miso takes a few months to ferment and mature, so we will also make a miso soup and onigiri breakfast to enjoy at the end of class. Sonoko will demonstrate them for you and provide complete recipes for you to recreate them at home.

Date: Sunday, February 15, 2026

Time: 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM PST

Location: A Zoom link will be provided after sign-up, along with recipes, ingredient list, and instructions, so you can prep ingredients in advance, if you plan on making the miso along with Sonoko during the live workshop.

On the Menu: Homemade Miso from scratch, Miso Soup with seasonal vegetables.

Fee: $100 per guest

Miso Ingredient Kits for this workshop are available for purchase from Sonoko’s Pantry.

Can’t attend live? No problem! The class recording will be available to all attendees for 60 days after the workshop.

Workshop Details:

Join us for a special VIRTUAL cooking class hosted by Sonoko Sakai.  During this class, we’ll make miso from scratch, starting with soy beans, salt, and koji. The recipe will yield 1 quart of miso, but you’ll have to babysit your miso over a few months before it’s ready to use. 

***Following sign-up, our team will email you with a PDF file. This file includes the Zoom link, ingredient list, and recipe instructions. Contact us here if you have any lingering questions about this workshop. 

NOTE: The beans must be freshly cooked and kept warm for the workshop, if you plan on cooking along live with Sonoko. A pressure cooker or Instant Pot is recommended to cook the soybeans with a cooking time of about 30 minutes. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, cook the beans for 4-5 hours on the stovetop, until softened, and there is no core inside. The beans should be made fresh that morning. More details will be provided in the recipe instructions.
