About Me I have a combined following of over 270,000 on social media. Born in Tokyo, I now live in Saitama with my two daughters, who are just a year apart and currently in junior high school (8th and 7th grade). I’m a former Italian chef specializing in pizza and pasta, as well as a former nursery school cook. Now, as a culinary expert, I develop numerous recipes for companies, handle PR and photography, and run cooking classes. My Recipe Philosophy Between work, household chores, and raising children, I know how hard it can be to find time to cook. Still, I want to help busy people prepare delicious meals that make their families happy. Drawing on my experience as a professional chef while working full-time, I share recipes designed to make cooking easier without compromising on taste. I’m happiest when my recipes can make your time in the kitchen just a little bit easier.
