Last month we were lucky 🍀 enough to attend an event hosted by @japanscotland at the @edinfooddrinkacademy we watched a demo by @gohandoumei on how to cook rice 🍚 that really opened our eyes 👀 and our hearts ♥️.

Noriko Shirai and Junichi Shirai have dedicated their lives to teaching the art of cooking rice 🌾.

A more Nobel goal we could not think of 🤩🤓.

Their meticulous attention to detail over every step of the process was so inspiring.

Hard to get all of it into one video so please do ask questions. 🥰 🙋🏼‍♂️

We had the honour and privilege of welcoming Abe Masataka of the Japanese 🇯🇵 Consulate to the Miso brewery this week.

Such a joy to show him around and talk about our love for Miso & Shoyu made in the traditional way with local ingredients. 🌾 🫛 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We made some Carlin pea miso and some Carlin pea shoyu together which will both be ready in 12 months time.

A perfect excuse to reconvene next year ❤️ !

We are going to try and arrange an online class making our 12 month (tear 😿 inducing) miso with the amazing @bonniechung.me in January.

Would you like to take part? Shall we do a live stream?

According to a brief internet search we need at least 250 people simultaneously to be considered for a world record…

We send you Koji (or grow your own Koji) we all make miso together… then reconvene in a year to cry about how delicious 🤤 they are 😋.

World record for simultaneous crying 😭 joyfully. 😅🥲🥹😂🤣

Also Thanks to
@jenni.wilson.ceramics for the beautiful mugs 🧡 ❤️ 🥰

Running a wee experiment this month.

Can we make booze 🥃 with the oat Koji.

After consuming a bottle home brew we can safely say yes, 🙌 🥴 yes we can 👌…

Does it taste good tho?

Much better than expected. thanks for asking 🙏

We used the one shot. Doboroku method. I.e. throw all your ingredients in at the same time and hope for the best.

Sake is normally brewed via the fancy sounding: multiple parallel fermentation.

Which means you brew a bit 🤏 then you add more Koji more water and more carbs.

Then you let it brew a bit more. Then you add more Koji more water and more carbs.… ad infinitum.

/ until you have the desired amount of liquid.

Does any one have experience brewing booze from Koji?

Our Smoky Oat Shoyu is ON SALE NOW!

We make this delicious liquid by extracting the liquid essence of Sheldrake & Sheldrake Chipotle Hot Sauce and combining it with an organic oat shoyu made in the fermentation house by our sister company, @slow.sauce

The result is a mouth-watering umami liquid that brings a deep, rich tone to anything you add it to – think ‘soy sauce’ with a gentle heat. You can use it wherever you might normally add salt to wake up flavour and add a deeply satisfying dimension to your dishes.

We’re delighted that our Smoky Oat Shoyu won 3-stars in the 2026 Great Taste Awards – their highest star rating. Here are some of the judges comments:

“Delicious, delicious, delicious. What an exciting marriage of ingredients and process. The deep umami and smoky notes deliver a profound depth of flavour, elegantly counterpointed by bright acidity. It’s complex and vibrant. We can see so many ways to use it.”

“This product has an incredible, inviting, smoky aroma. On the palate it is rich with an amazing depth of flavour and an incredibly long finish. Well balanced and delicious!”

Free from all major allergens – gluten-free, soy-free, vegan.

Oat miso roast potato 🥔

One of our most frequent after work eats 😋

Slice your tatties 🥔 small (for faster roasting).

Toss them in a glug of olive oil.

Lie them on their backs skin side down. (For less sticking)

Roast for 30 mins at 180C (350F) then add a spoon of oat miso.

Toss then gently till they are evenly covered (be gentle please 🙏 the tatoes are delicate)

Roast for another 10 or until you have a good colour on them.

Best enjoyed dipped in oat shoyu… but mayo also works 🥰🫶🏻🔥

2nd miso of our @boldbeanco mini series…

Can’t wait for this queen 👸 to be ready next year 😳🫪

Each bean 🫘 has different ratios of protein and carbohydrate so it will be interesting to taste 👅 these side by side.

Which should we do next @ameliachristiemiller ?

❤️ 🧡 ❤️ 🧡
