Japan’s Fermentation Culture: Rice Bran Mat Making Workshop

In this experience, you will learn about ‘nukazuke’, a traditional Japanese fermented food, and the nukazubo (rice bran fermentation tray). First, I will provide an easy-to-understand overview of the history of nukazuke, how fermentation works, and why it is good for you. Afterwards, you will get hands-on experience with nukazuke, learning how to mix it, how to pickle vegetables, and how to manage it on a daily basis. By mixing nukazuke with your own hands, you will be able to experience the intrigue of fermentation and Japanese food culture through all five senses. This workshop offers a fun way to experience the fermentation culture that has been passed down through generations in Japanese households.

About me

I have spent many years learning about the traditional Japanese fermented food "nukazuke" and how to make and maintain a nukazuke bed, and I continue to research this as I cultivate my own nukazuke bed every day. I currently run a course on nuka-zokode, sharing the culture of fermentation in Japan and the appeal of nuka-zuke with people from Japan and abroad. Many beneficial bacteria live in the nuka-zokori, which transform vegetables into delicious and healthy food. During the experience, you can learn how to make a nuka-zokoji and how fermentation works, while enjoying the food culture that has been passed down through generations in Japanese households.
