'Gohan' in Japanese means rice - our staple food - but it also refers to meals in general: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

That’s why we often say, 

“Have you had gohan?”  

“Let’s go out for gohan” 

when speaking with friends and family.

I’m a Japanese food specialist, chef and cookery teacher specialising in authentic Japanese food culture, dedicated to using the finest ingredients to create delicious and nourishing dishes.

I’m passionate about sharing not only the art of Japanese cooking and its beautiful presentation but also the deep traditions of fermentation - an essential element of our food culture.

From miso and soy sauce to mirin, vinegar, and sake, these time-honored condiments bring out the true essence of Japanese flavours.

Here, you'll find my recipes, class schedules, upcoming events, and more.
