Books By Kenji Morimoto - Author

Kenji Morimoto is a fourth-generation Japanese American currently based in London. Food is an essential part of his cultural identity; as a child, he was in charge of making tsukemono (Japanese pickles) for family gatherings, and as an adult his passion for exploring global fermentation traditions has only grown. During the pandemic, he started his Instagram @kenjcooks to document his interest in fermentation and connect the dots between diasporic food traditions and his own. Since then, he's cooked in fermentation-focused kitchens in Poland, run fermentation-based supper clubs, led workshops on koji and kimchi, partnered with companies such as MOB, Tasty UK, and Sous Chef, and worked with the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen as a guest chef. He was a finalist for the 2023 BBC Food and Farming Digital Creator of the Year Award.
