Let's make kimchi! Hands on fermentation workshop in Berlin

Hi, I’m Jem, an avid fermenter, Japanese cook and certified permaculture designer living in Berlin.

Half Japanese and raised in London, I grew up craving Japanese flavours (and wondering why we didn’t eat ramen every day)! Later, I fell deep into the world of fermentation, transforming simple ingredients into tangy, nourishing foods through the magic of microbes.​

After years of cooking, experimenting, and refining techniques, I founded Fischtal Foodlab to share my passion with fellow Berlin food enthusiasts. For me, food is all about community—bringing people together through flavors, creativity, and hands-on learning.

Join me in discovering, sharing, and creating something delicious together!
