Umami Project

This project focuses on creating umami-rich foods like garums, misos, tamaris, and shoyus using ingredients grown in the Northeast.


Areas of Exploration

  • Product Development: Developing unique regional versions of traditional ferments.
  • Technique Integration: Exploring how techniques like smoking and roasting can add complexity, as well as using combined substrates to create novel flavor profiles.
  • Process Variation: Investigating different fermentation timelines, including both traditional long-term aging and expedited methods. We will also explore combining these processes with other ferments, such as lacto-fermentation.
