– Learning Koji and Beyond –
The Koji Advisor Training Program is designed for those who:
- Want to learn about koji in a comprehensive program
- Aspire to start a koji-related business in the future
- Wish to preserve and pass down koji culture and Japanese traditions
- Want to explore health, body, and mind through koji
- Are interested in an Oriental medicine approach
- Want to learn how to use koji for themselves and their families
- Prefer to study at their own pace online
This program provides the ideal learning experience for those who want the flexibility to study at their own pace online.
All classes take place on an Online School platform and a Facebook group page, where we communicate via chat.
Each month, we focus on a different theme and learn about various koji-based condiments. The basic materials, including tutorial videos and documents, are already available in the Online Platform, allowing you to learn at your own pace.(in 2025, since we moved to new platform recently, I wiill add new information month to month)
Additionally, there will be a Monthly Zoom meeting each month, where we can interact directly, and I can answer questions based on everyone’s interests and requests. I have found that this interactive format is much more effective than simply listening to a basic lecture. All Zoom meetings will be recorded so you can watch them later at your convenience. Of course, you can also reach out to me anytime through chat.`
For those with a busy schedule, this program is still a great fit! You can study at your own pace, and I will provide reminders to help you stay on track and keep up with everything.
