Born in Japan and raised in the United States, I’ve cultivated a unique bicultural perspective, fluent in both language and tradition. My passion lies at the intersection of these two worlds, specifically within the realm of food. Recognizing the vital role of culinary heritage, I aspire to bridge the gap between Japanese food artisans and American consumers. By championing authentic stories and preserving traditional craftsmanship, I aim to ensure the enduring legacy of Japanese culinary culture.
