Daikon in the snow. Smells amazing. Super easy ferment to make and very tasty.

First time doing soy bean . Using rice made at home. Now all I have to do is wait 6 months till it's ready. Yes that's a bag there!

So attempt number 4 at rice and I think I've mailed the process. Previous versions suffered from poor temp and humidity conditions, as well as overcooking the rice. This white powdery surface texture is exactly how it should be. Now to figure out what I'm going to do with the stuff! Meat curing, sake, mirin, soy, miso, cheese...

It’s barrel time! This virgin barrel will need some hot water and clean beers run through it to reduce the oak character before running any sour beers through it.

Korean fermented fish (Jeong-eo-ri jeotgal). Using sprats which are a kind of large anchovy quite easy to get hold of in UK unlike anchovies. Never tried this before so I'm a bit excited + nervous to see how much stink this is going to kick off! thanks for the recipe from your lovely book @maangchi!

Woah what is that white furry (tasty) stuff on those beans!!???
