Miso Making Workshop with The Koji Kitchen - Edinburgh

The Koji KitchenRoslin, Mid Lothian
Saturday, Mar 28, 2026 from 11 am to 1 pm GMT
Overview

Miso is that tasty tasty bean paste that turns into lovely soup and is making everyone on Masterchef lose their minds.

At long last - The Koji Kitchen will be teaching a class on home grounds. You'll get to pierce the veil of the Koji Labs and find out all of the weird and fabulous goings on at microbe HQ.

Miso is that tasty tasty bean paste that turns into lovely soup and is making everyone on Masterchef lose their minds. The thing is though, it’s been around forever.

There are innumerable homemade miso recipes in Japan, changing from family to family and town to town. Like kimchi in Korea or the seeming infinity of grannies’ scones.

Some misos are light in colour, some dark, others deep and complex. Some are chunky, some are smooth, some use barley, some use fava beans, others with lentils, peas and aubergine. Basically, miso is a pretty expansive topic.

One of the wonderful benefits of making your own miso is that the liquid byproduct of the process is tamari - the fantastic gluten free alternative to soy sauce.

In this workshop you’ll get a journey through the wonderful world of miso by tasting different kinds, learning a bit about the fermentation process, learn basic best practises and prepare your own jar of miso.

The cost covers all of the ingredients used and a lovely jar to take your miso home in. You will be well fed too, with a whole range of koji-inspired goodies for lunch!

Please park in visitors parking at the front of the Midlothian Innovation Centre. Entry details will be listed on the front door.

If you have any allegies or dietary requirments please let me know ahead of time.
