Hello! This is one of our SUZUICHI staff members \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uh, uh, um…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is kind of sudden, but!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re going to make miso out of peanuts!<\/strong>\u270a\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t mean Miso Peanuts, the snack of roasted peanuts coated in sweet miso \ud83e\udd7a (We mean the miso you use to make miso soup \ud83d\udc50)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miso is one of the fermented foods the Japanese have loved since long ago \ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make miso, you mainly mix together soybeans<\/strong>, rice koji<\/strong> (rice cultured with koji mold), and salt<\/strong> \u2192 let it age for about a year \u2192 the fermenting power of the koji turns it into miso \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Illustration<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Peanut miso is something we’ve never heard of, and there’s no precedent for it… (probably)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can peanuts even ferment? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If it ferments \u2192 miso \u25ce
If it doesn’t ferment \u2192 failure \u00d7 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s try it and see what happens.
It feels kind of like a summer-vacation science project \ud83d\ude04 lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Making the Miso<\/strong> ~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Boiling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Boil the peanuts \u2192 mash them \u2192 mix them with salt and koji and pack the mixture into a container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spraying<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spray it with shochu (a Japanese distilled spirit) to disinfect it \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All set to ferment \u270a\u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


I made the miso together with another one of our staff members \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll let the miso age in the under-floor storage space in the shop’s kitchen \u2728 (It should be cool down there, probably \ud83d\udca6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all goes well, it should be ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sometime between fall and winter \ud83e\udd7a<\/p>\n\n\n\n


So…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

what kind of miso will it turn into???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned \u266a\ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Update: November 20<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine months have passed since we started the miso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did the peanut miso actually turn out!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the rest here \ud83d\udc81\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
