Honoring AAPI Heritage Month by celebrating the traditions, stories, and wisdom passed down through food.
At Aedan Fermented Foods, founder Mariko Grady carries forward generations of Japanese fermentation knowledge learned from her grandfather’s miso business and her mother’s homemade recipes in Japan. What began as homemade miso to nourish family and raise relief funds after the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami became a community rooted in culture, healing, and connection through fermented foods.
From handcrafted koji and miso to bento, onigiri, and cooking classes in San Francisco’s Mission District, Aedan continues to share the power of Japanese tradition, umami, and community with every meal.
This month and every month, we celebrate the generations of Asian and Pacific Islander voices, recipes, and stories that continue to nourish our communities.

Join us in celebrating 14-year business anniversaries for graduates @aedanfermented and @biniskitchen 🎉
🌟 @aedanfermented : Mariko Grady carried miso with her everywhere she traveled as a dancer, it was how she stayed healthy on the road. When she settled in SF, she started making miso at home, then for a school fundraiser after the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami, and was inspired to formalize her business when people kept coming back for more! Four years ago, she opened her brick-and-mortar location Aedan Koji Kitchen, where she teaches Miso-making classes, Koji & Miso cooking classes, serves pre-order Koji Bentos, and caters. All rooted in her belief that miso is a healing food.
📍613 York St, San Francisco
🌟 @biniskitchen : Bini Pradhan grew up in Kathmandu, where her mother cooked for the Nepalese royal family. She carried that culinary legacy to cooking school in Bombay, to restaurants in the Nepali food industry, and eventually to SF. What started out as pop-ups has grown into Bini’s Nepalese dumplings called MoMos becoming an iconic SF food staple, a team of 10, two locations, kiosks at several farmers market, catering, and frozen MoMos that bring a taste of the Himalayas to your home.
