Chef At Home in Barcelona
Get to know me better
A sociable and patient person who cares for two children (14 & 12 years old)
A passionate and experienced cooking tutor/chef with over 14 years of expertise in Japanese cuisine, cultivated through international experiences in Tokyo, UK, Singapore, and Barcelona. I specialize in blending the deep flavours of Japanese culinary traditions with European techniques and ingredients to create unique fusion dishes. With a strong background in teaching and private catering, I have also refined my skills in Spanish cuisine at the culinary school and local Michelin-starred restaurant in Barcelona.
My cooking philosophy is providing ‘home-style’ service. For me, home-style means prioritizing the health and well-being of diners through balancing nutrition and thoughtful ingredient selection. Also each dish should be infused with a sense of comfort and familiarity, elevated by professional techniques.

I learned to cook at...
Cooking schools in Tokyo and Barcelona.
A cooking secret...
Crafting dishes bursting with UMAMI, using my handcrafted ferments; miso, shio-koji, that balance deep, complex tastes with a focus on nutrition.
