In this fun, hands-on class, you’ll learn all about tasty Japanese superfoods that can help you build and maintain a healthy gut.

A healthy gut is the foundation of:

Did You Know?

• Koji, the Japanese culture, produces about 400 health components

• Koji-fermented foods are Japan’s natural flavour enhancer, with a gorgeous umami taste

• Koji is becoming trendy among top chefs for its umami flavour, and among the gut health community for its good bacteria

• Japanese superfoods like seaweed and konnyaku are very gut-friendly, acting as powerful gut cleansers and helping increase good bacteria

You’ll learn all about koji, the national culture behind Japanese fermented foods, now popular among the world’s top chefs. You’ll use a range of Japanese koji products such as salt koji, amazake and miso, and make super easy, versatile koji sauces.
