Hello Viewers!!!


It is not exceptional to organize different events with respect to time by Michi-no-Eki Aso in cooperation with local organization. But, exceptional for me is that first time I had a chance to participate on Miso making process by physically. Although Bangladeshi people are not familiar with Miso soup but most of the educated person heard about Miso soup. Especially, I heard about Japanese Miso soup in my childhood. Why not, because Miso soup is very famous not only for Japan but also all over the world. And I got an physical experience on behalf of Michi-no-Eki Aso in Namino village. Yesterday, We (Michi-no-Eki Aso) was organized miso making event with cooperation of Genki Naragino a group of local people association. Actually, after heard about Miso event I was eagerly waiting because I have no idea about how to make it and what is Miso. We are five staffs from Michi-no-Eki Aso including three foreign staffs and one foreign guest from Vietnam with Genki Naragino participated in this event.

We reached in the event place around 11:00 am and they gave us warm reception by Zenzai soup. I saw and heard two suspans of Soybean are boiling about 4 hours. Because Miso soup is soya based paste and fermented by Koji (a mold) and mixed some salts. As my observation the making process is not so difficult if group of people will work together. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat after successfully made it because it takes almost one year for fermentation before it can use to make Miso soup although depends on temperature condition. It was a enjoyable environment due to different types of gossiping with each other. Now I have gather sufficient knowledge about Miso. The complete Miso making process as you can see in the following pictures.

After successfully completed Miso making mission we gathered in a large hall room. But why, because we had a great opportunity to eat a local dishes lunch box made by the Namino local people. Maybe this is my last Japanese local food in this chapter during my stay in Japan.

Last but not least, we also participated in a fantastic craft session. In this session, we made individually wooden key ring holder. It was really enjoyable one because it seems to be key holder making competition how to make more beautiful his own one. Finally, we returned to our destination with full of success, experience as well as lot of fun. However, today I am feeling lonely because Franck san will go to his home country to meet with his family. Hope I will meet again with him before finish my job in Michi-no-Eki Aso. Wishes for safe journey and have a nice time with your family.
