Miso Customized Workshop
In this in-person workshop, you’ll learn how to create a miso that suits your taste. During the miso customized workshop in los angeles, you’ll explore different miso styles, discover how to make your own miso, and take home a batch to ferment.
Create Your Own Miso
Miso is made from three core ingredients: a protein-rich base, koji, and salt. By changing the ingredients and the amount of koji, you can create miso with different flavors, sweetness, richness, and character. And it doesn’t have to start with soybeans!
At the Long Beach Koji Customized Miso Workshop, you’ll learn how to work with koji and different protein-rich ingredients in a welcoming, hands-on activity. You don’t need previous experience - through tasting, comparing, and guided preparation, you’ll discover that miso-making is creative, approachable, and easy to enjoy.
Upcoming Workshops
  • 12/20 (Sun), 2:00–4:00 PM: Chickpea Miso
  • 1/9 (Sat), 2:00–4:00 PM: Azuki (Red Bean) Miso
  • 2/6 (Sat), 2:00–4:00 PM: Soybean Miso
What You’ll Experience
  • Discover different miso bases: Learn how chickpeas and other protein-rich ingredients can be transformed with koji.
  • Explore the power of koji: Taste miso made with different amounts of fresh koji. More koji generally creates a sweeter, milder miso.
  • Taste before you decide: Compare different miso samples and find the flavor profile you enjoy most.
  • Customize your own miso: Choose your preferred style, make your own batch, and take it home to ferment.
As you work with ingredients, taste the differences, and follow each step, you may feel curious, inspired, and more confident about making miso at home. You’ll have plenty of guidance as you learn how to combine your chosen base, koji, and salt.
Your Miso, Your Taste
There’s no single “perfect” miso. Choose a direction that suits you: deep and savory, mild and balanced, or naturally sweet and rich in koji. Understand the ingredients, taste the differences, and make a miso that’s uniquely yours.
Taste it. Compare it. Customize it. Make it yours. Experience koji, fermentation, and Japanese umami with Long Beach Koji, and start your own miso journey. You’ll leave with your customized miso to ferment at home, along with a deeper understanding of how your choices shape its flavor and character.
Private Customized Miso Workshops
Private sessions are also available for groups of 2–6 people. Choose a protein-rich ingredient you’d like to explore, and you’ll enjoy a customized miso-making experience for your group. Ask us about scheduling.
