Maki
Hi! I'm Maki from Osaka. I host Japanese home cooking classes in a quiet residential area of Osaka. Since 2024, I've hosted more than 30 cooking events, sharing simple recipes that are easy to recreate at home.
After traveling to more than 25 countries and living in Canada for five years, I learned that some of the best conversations happen around the table. That's why I started Gochiso Cooking—to bring people together through homemade Japanese food and warm conversation.
"Gochiso" means "a feast" in Japanese, but to me, it's the joy of sharing a meal with others. I hope you'll experience that feeling at my table.
