Greeting & Blog Concept
Hi there! I’m Yuki, the creator of this blog.
Welcome to a little corner of the internet where Japanese food, culture, and everyday life come together.
This blog is for anyone curious about Japan — whether you’re planning a trip, learning the language, or just love ramen and sushi. I’m here to guide you through Japan not just as a traveler, but as someone who has lived, cooked, and explored this beautiful country for years.
Who I Am
My journey has taken me from Italian kitchens, where I trained as a chef (pasta is life!), back to my first love: Japan. As a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter and translator, I’m excited to share my culture and cuisine with you. Join me as I explore everything from home-cooked meals to hidden street food gems, and provide practical travel tips based on my unique background. I hope this blog inspires you to plan your own unforgettable trip to Japan!

Why I Started This Blog
I started this blog to share a side of Japan that often gets overlooked: the everyday joys, the regional specialties, the surprising twists on familiar dishes. While other blogs might focus on the iconic sights, I want to show you the textures, smells, and little joys of daily life here — one bite at a time.
