Born and raised in Osaka, Japan, I have over a decade of experience in the food and beverage industry, specializing in Japan's diverse culinary landscape and global food trends.

My passion goes beyond simply enjoying delicious food; I’m deeply fascinated by the cultural and social dynamics that shape food trends and consumer tastes in Japan and around the world. As an avid traveler, I often visit international friends and immerse myself in global cultures. These experiences allow me to identify common patterns and innovative ideas across various culinary scenes.

Leveraging this expertise, I regularly speak at conferences for food companies and local governments, contribute articles to professional journals, and support food businesses in product development and international expansion.

Through authentic stories and flavors, my goal is to share the rich charm of Japanese cuisine with pride, while embracing global influences and insights. Every dish tells a story—I’m here to connect cultures, one bite at a time, and inspire curiosity through food !
