We recently attended the Kuranda Japanese Food and Culture Festival, where two of our amazing volunteers, Yoko and Natsuko, had a stall selling miki, a traditional fermented rice drink. Natsuko shared her approach to making miki, “When I make miki, I treat the rice with care, like a baby. I pray while washing and cooking it, wishing health and happiness for everyone who enjoys it. I’m still learning, but one day I hope to visit Amami Island, where miki is still used in sacred ceremonies, to learn from the masters."
