Koji basic: Amazake & Shiokoji
【 Shio-koji & Amazake】Infuse Life with Koji Magic
Your New Everyday Umami — Ready in Days, Not Months
What if fermentation didn’t mean waiting for months?
What if you could start this week?
Unlike miso,
shio-koji is ready in 7–10 days.
And amazake?
Just within 12 hours.
Simple. Alive. Real.
No long commitment.
No special skills.
Just something living, quietly transforming in your kitchen.
This workshop is for you if you want to:
• Add natural umami to everyday cooking
• Support digestion and gut health gently
• Move beyond industrial seasonings
• Experience fermentation in a way that fits modern life
No complexity.
No perfection.
Just mix, let it rest, and enjoy.
What We Will Do Together
• Understand what koji really is
• Taste different amazake and shio-koji variations
• Learn practical ways to use shio-koji daily
• Make your own shio-koji to take home (in a WECK jar)
• Take home fresh amazake
• Enjoy a light meal prepared with fermented ingredients
You won’t leave with just information —
you’ll leave ready to begin.
Why Join?
Because this isn’t about “learning fermentation.”
It’s about
having something in your fridge next week
that quietly makes every meal better.
A spoonful in soup.
On roasted vegetables.
In dressings.
Or simply as a gentle, nourishing drink.
Small effort.
Noticeable difference.
A small shift in the kitchen.
A big shift in everyday life.
