Our fermentation residency workshop series continues as Sandor show us how to make Adzuki Bean Miso. He starts with a tray of steamed barley which he inoculates with koji. The mature koji is salted to make shio-koji, rich with amylase. This amylase is used to break down a big pot of adzuki beans into miso.
