Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region.

KONNICHIWA! Hello, my name is Tomomi. Please call me Tommi.
Welcome to my mountain retreat farm in Shirakawaguchi, a peaceful countryside village on the way to Takayama from Nagoya or Gifu by express train. Surrounded by beautiful nature, you can hear birds singing and the gentle sound of the river.
I love cooking and fermentation. I am a certified fermentation sommelier, and I make many traditional Japanese fermented foods such as miso and soy sauce from scratch using soybeans and wheat grown in our own field.
Fermented foods are an important part of Japanese food culture. They are also rich in probiotics and are known to support gut health. In my cooking classes, I introduce simple and delicious Japanese home cooking using these homemade fermented ingredients.
Many of the fermented seasonings we use in the class are homemade and slowly aged over time.
Vegan options are also available if you prefer plant-based meals.
You will experience authentic Japanese home cooking and fermentation culture in a quiet countryside setting.
I live here with my cat and dog, and I look forward to cooking together and sharing a wonderful time with you.
After the class, you will receive a recipe so you can recreate the dishes at home.
Thank you. Arigato˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚
