I had been wanting to take a workshop in miso making for a long time and my 1-1 class with Akemi was everything I’d hoped for and more.
She took me through all the steps to make miso after which we made three snacks with some of her home made miso and then enjoyed eating them with a glass of wine. That’s my idea of a perfect cooking class!
The class was well organised and Akemi is a fermentation master who is an excellent teacher. She’s very friendly and makes you feel relaxed and welcome in her home. I took home my jar of miso along with a goodie bag and the recipes for miso and the snacks we made.
I’m so pleased I signed up for the class and am hoping to take a tofu class with her soon.

What a wonderful inspiring class in an intimate setting. Akemi was well prepared and had thought through content an every step (and there are a few :-) We were even reusing the bean pulp for delicious sweet and savory treats. Pure Zen, down to the last details like Szechuan pepper leaves for an authentic decoration on beautiful plates! I hope to join miso making class next- after being allowed to sample a few of Akemi‘s home made ones!

My husband and I attended the Ramen lesson and a fantastic evening. The teacher made the whole thing engaging and simple, answered all my daft questions with patience and we ended up eating the most delicious food. Also had a little goody bag to take home. I would thoroughly recommend- you won’t regret it!
