Originally from Tokyo but now call Northern California home. I love to cook and my cooking is half from cookbooks, magazines, and internet and other half my own. Although my cooking style is global, 40% or so is Japanese (have over 850+ Japanese language cookbooks and growing). Learned about taste and knife skill from my mother who was a fabulous, instinctive Japanese cook. I have a nostalgic love of regional comfort recipes from America which pleases my husband because he always says “this is very good.” Besides Japanese cooking, sloppy Joes, SOS, biscuits and sausage gravy, grits with shrimp, gumbo, and chicken fried steaks are still some of mine and my husband’s all-time favorite American comfort foods. I also love Southwest flavors especially crunchy tacos, chili, and New Mexico chile recipes. Find properly slicing fish for sushi and sashimi very difficult to master of all things I’ve tried in kitchen. That goes for plating sushi and sashimi with seasonal ingredients.
