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.
