Kojicon is back for its 5th year with Kojicon 2025: Tradition Meets Transformation, celebrating the rich heritage of mold-based fermentation and the groundbreaking innovations shaping its future. Fermentation serves as a timeless bridge, preserving techniques honed over generations while sparking fresh creativity.
From cherished family recipes passed down through the years to the transformative process of turning grains into soy sauce, Makgeolli, and umami-rich foods, fermentation is a testament to both continuity and evolution. This year, we’ll explore where these age-old traditions intersect with modern creativity, highlighting how today's fermenters are reimagining familiar flavors and crafting bold, unfamiliar ones.
