Hello!
It\u2019s Shiori, a fermentation master \ud83d\ude42
First of all, I\u2019d like to check in with everyone and hope you all are
staying at home safe and doing well while COVID-18 has made our
lives a 180 degree turn.
For me, I am inspired that many people are working hard to help others
and I wanted to be one of them.
So I have deduced to offer this.
Let\u2019s do a Free Online Doburoku(sake) Making Class!
(Note; Doburoku is a probiotic homebrew alcoholic drink)
In fact, I have already created a Facebook group called \u201cKoji no hana
Canada\u201d for Japanese people.
Since the lock down, I am thinking of everyone how they are coping
with this and I assume many of us are starting to feel the effects of
lockdown both physically and mentally.
How are you eating?
How is your sleep?
Are you waking up refreshed in the morning?
And, are you cooking?
Feeling a bit moody and irritable for no reasons?
Or your anxiety is spiking up randomly?
So let\u2019s do something together and counteract the negative impacts of
our new norm.
Staying home too long.
Too much time to kill.
Sitting too much and watching TV or playing with your phone computer too long.
Your body won\u2019t probably like that\u2026
My hope with this class is to help purge that frustration and bring some fun and ease.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is free, so why not give it a try!
Let\u2019s have fun together \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how we do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll create a dedicated Facebook group for this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kick start is on April \uff16th<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n From there, I\u2019ll give you a list of what you\u2019d need to make doburoku, and start sharing the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll prepare what you need based on the instructions. Doburoku making is fun all the way. From there they will have fermentation parties and will keep growing with bobbles! If it the taste becomes palatable, then that\u2019s it. It\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can filter the doburoku for more sharp taste if you wish. The pulp called \u201csakekasu\u201d is flavourful and has so many use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\u2019t have alcohol? Don\u2019t worry, you warm it up then it will be a savory drink<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll learn how and why alcohol has been used as medicine. This is an easy-to-make home alcholic drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taste wise it is full body yet very simple and super nourishing. Alive means, it changes quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you passed the golden window of \u201cyummy drink\u201d, that\u2019s ok, you can keep it in the fridge and use it for cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is for fun, don\u2019t even go to the idea of perfecting it. But in this class, let\u2019s not go there and simply enjoy the creation that is unique to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why fermented food? During the process of fermentation, all the microbiomes and micronutrients dance harmoniously and produce nutrients while keeping the taste of it amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good flora helps regulate our bowel movements and cleans it up. This will make other organs happy. Everything is connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you might have heard that, gut is our second brain. Eating fermented foods will nourish your intestines and help better absorption which then support our immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s work our gut flora a happier one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But let\u2019s not label \u201cbad\u201d flora as \u201cbad\u201d. They are doing their job and we still need them. Let\u2019s not beat them or try to get rid of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s important here is BALANCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s work on creating a harmonious balance in our gut flora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All we do is to give a bit of support to the \u201cgood\u201d flora, and somewhat neutral ones (they are called \u201copportunistic\u201d) will take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working on our gut, is to work on our immunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you see it now? It is my belief that, this is most important than going micro and just looking at nutrients what\u2019s good and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Know your body. Watever the message I put out with fermentation or, acupuncture, I come back to this; Stimulate our five senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hear it pop. You\u2019ll be glued to doburoku. Additional Info!

\uff08Actually, It changed the date to April 13\uff09<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t worry, everything is quite simple and easy!
Of course I\u2019ll be there to assist you for any questions you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actual prep is on April 9th<\/sup>.
\uff08It changed to April 16th. Sorry for confusion!\uff09<\/em><\/strong>
You will prepare your doburoku in your own kitchen.
If you want to know a little more, it\u2019ll look like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have child(ren), get them involved!New
lives emerge from the stuff that looks just like a bed of rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do taste checks from day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And doburoku can use it in your cooking as a versatile seasoning too.
If you are thinking if it tastes exactly like sake you have tasted from Japanese restaurant… It isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyways, this is a super versatile cooking item that is ALIVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course you can do that, but you\u2019ll be then in a rabbit hole!
Welcome to the club \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me geek about this a bit… The fermentation with bacteria produce vitamins and minerals, which is so beneficial for us. Fermentation does the magic and make the food turn into a super healthy body friendly food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While supplements are helpful, but how much are we actually absorbing?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking charge of our own body.
Knowing our own body.
Only then, you\u2019ll know what you should do to help it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earn the self-care skills and knowledge.
And help your loved ones with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taste it change.
See it bubble.
Smell it daily
Touch\/examine the texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hope you join us and discover this super healthy fermented drink. Looking forward to having fun with you there!
