At SHIGEN in Sumida, Tokyo, make your own miso (Japanese fermented soybean paste), enjoy a Japanese home-style meal and learn about Japanese food culture. Kiyoto, the owner, and his mother, who trained at a Japanese restaurant, introduce dashi (Japanese stock) and koji (fermented rice) and guide you step by step through making miso. After making onigiri and miso soup together, enjoy a meal of seasonal Japanese dishes such as nikujaga, with unlimited sake from around Japan served during the meal. Take your homemade miso home together with a guide on storage and fermentation.

Taste dashi and
learn about koji, the key to miso
Taste dashi, a Japanese stock made from kombu and bonito flakes, and discover the secret of umami. Then learn about koji, the fermented rice used to make miso. No cooking experience is needed.
Make your own miso

Mash boiled soybeans, mix them with koji and salt, and pack the mixture into a container to make your own miso. Your hosts guide you through each step and explain how flavor develops through fermentation.
Make onigiri and miso soup, then share a meal

Make rice balls (onigiri) and miso soup with your hosts, then enjoy a meal of seasonal Japanese dishes such as nikujaga, a traditional simmered meat and potato dish. You will also learn cooking tips and recipes you can try at home.
Enjoy unlimited sake from across Japan

During the meal, sake produced in various prefectures across Japan is served without limit. Compare the different flavors and discover how they pair with the food. At the end, take home the miso you made along with a guide on how to store and ferment it.
※ Your homemade miso needs to go through fermentation before it can be eaten, so it takes time to mature.
※ Seasonal dishes may vary depending on the season.
