I'm a cooking expert and instructor specializing in healthy Japanese cuisine, teaching in English.
from 2023 to 2025, I conducted cooking workshops in 10 countries in Oceania, Asia and Europe.
I usually host classes at home in the peaceful and cozy Oyamadai neighborhood, located just a 20-minute train ride from Shibuya, Tokyo.
In the class, I teach Japanese cooking skills and seasonal menus using fresh seasonal vegetables (mostly organic or pesticide-free), traditional Japanese seasonings and additive-free products.
I also focus on classes for people with dietary restrictions, such as vegans and gluten-free people, so that everyone can enjoy their meals together.
In the past, I had many dietary restrictions such as wheat, milk, eggs. I also supported foreign colleagues with food allergies and religious dietary needs.
During those times, When I traveled abroad, people were so nice and made sure I had something to eat. I'll never forget that, so I wanted to do the same for foreigners here in Japan.
Since then, I have studied various healthy cooking methods, including medicinal cuisine, macrobiotics, Shojin cuisine, and also explored gluten-free cooking. After that, I developed and supervised healthy menus at an organic cafe and a grocery store. Now, while teaching cooking, I am researching healthy cuisine that can be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds.
I am happy to arrange food according to your request, and looking forward to sharing our food culture with you.
