The Secrets of Fermentation

Episode 11

Is there fermentation elsewhere in the world?

Do people in other countries do the same thing?

Fermented foods from around the world are set out in front of Mugi and Hakkoh-chan.
MugiAre these all fermented?
Hakkoh-chanThey are. You find them all over the world.
MugiThey’re nothing like miso.
Hakkoh-chanThe ingredients and the living things differ.
Around a world map, fermented foods that stand for each region are joined to their proper places.
MugiEven far away, the same thing happens?
Hakkoh-chanTiny living things change food.
Hakkoh-chanThat principle is the same.
MugiBut the taste that comes out is different.
Lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and the mold family are each at work beside a different fermented food.
MugiSo living things have things they’re good at too.
Hakkoh-chanThe ingredients and the climate change who shows up.
MugiThe same fermentation becomes a different dish.
Hakkoh-chanThere are as many tastes as there are ways of living.
