THE CHEF

As a young child in Cebu, Philippines, Kim was inspired by the delicious dishes cooked by her mother who worked as a corporate chef and also operated a catering service.  After emigrating to Japan, Kim continued gaining culinary knowledge, learning the techniques of Japanese cooking.

While working in a corporate setting, Kim was limited to offering her cooking to coworkers and to catering opportunities on the weekends.

In late 2018, encouraged by her customers and her friends, she made the decision to leave the corporate world to pursuit her real passion of cooking full time.

She welcomes you to come enjoy her family style Japanese cooking.
