HakkoBako Pro Fermentation Chamber

Precise, repeatable fermentation for professional kitchens — from koji and garum to miso, yoghurt, and beyond.

The HakkoBako Pro is the ultimate Smart Fermentation Chamber for professionals, designed as a high-precision Incubation Chamber for both microbial and enzymatic culinary processes. It provides precise temperature control for cold ferment to cure and age flavors and hot ferments for optimal mold growth and accelerating enzymatic reactions. Using advanced heating and cooling technology, this professional fermentation incubator lets you consistently develop complex flavors through controlled microbial action, ensuring perfect results every batch.

Harness the power of microbes, manage food waste, and accelerate flavor development.

KEY FEATURES

Built for the demands of a professional kitchen

Precise Temperature Control (2–60°C)

Microbial fermentation (2–45°C): Maintain exact conditions for bacteria, yeast, and mould. Automatically cool down at the end of a cycle to stop or slow fermentation at precisely the right moment — no manual intervention needed.
Enzymatic biocatalysis (up to 60°C): Accelerate the breakdown of proteins into deep, complex flavour compounds. Essential for garums, amino acid sauces, and specialty fish sauces that would otherwise take months.
Multi-step programming: Chain up to four temperature and time steps into a single saved program. Set it, walk away, and return to a completed ferment

10-Inch Touchscreen Interface

The HakkoBako Pro is operated via an intuitive 10-inch touchscreen display — no technical expertise required.

Easy Ferment mode: Set a single temperature and duration in a few taps. Ideal for daily recipes like yoghurt, dough proofing, kombucha, and tempeh.
Fermentation Programs: Save, recall, and fine-tune your fermentation profiles. Recreate the same result every time, or make incremental adjustments to perfect your recipe over successive batches.

HACCP-Ready Automated Logs

The chamber’s internal sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and time continuously throughout every ferment.

Logs are automatically recorded and exportable — making food safety compliance effortless.
Your full fermentation history is stored on the device, giving your team a reliable R&D record as recipes evolve.

Set and forget — with complete peace of mind.

Consistent Airflow

Powerful internal fans circulate air continuously, eliminating hot and cold spots inside the chamber. Every tray receives the same environment, ensuring uniform results across the full capacity of each batch. Fan speed can be tuned to adjust to your specific fermentation needs.

Adjustable Rack System

The interior rack configuration can be changed to accommodate different vessel sizes and batch setups. Configure the chamber to fit your containers — not the other way around.

Range of Ferments

The HakkoBako Pro is used daily in professional kitchens to produce:

Koji and miso — culture koji at precise humidity and temperature, then age miso with the exact profile you have dialled in.
Garum and amino acid sauces — hold enzymatic reactions at 60°C for weeks, converting proteins into deeply umami, complex liquid gold.
Lacto-fermented vegetables — maintain consistent cool temperatures for reliable, batch-to-batch lacto fermentation.
Beverages and probiotics — ferment kombucha, kefir, or hard seltzers at controlled temperatures, then cool and stabilise at the target point.
Starter culture development — safely incubate and scale up proprietary bacterial, yeast, or mould cultures without contamination risk.
Upcycled ingredients — convert food waste and kitchen byproducts into high-value fermented ingredients through controlled enzymatic breakdown.
