About me:
I first went to Japan as a filmmaker to work on a project, and what I discovered changed my life: a whole new dimension of cuisine. I was im-pressed & invigorated by the the taste & diversity of the light & healthy dishes I encountered, completely un-like what I had previously eaten in Japanese restaurants abroad.
Impassioned by these culinary discoveries,
I decided to make Japan my home. During the five years I spent in Japan, I switched from being a filmmaker to a cook. I learned the trade by working in restaurants specializing in Italian & Japanese cuisine. Eventually, my path lead back to Europe, and specifically to Brussels. I am glad to share my passion for fresh, local ingredients & Japanese cuisine with you.
Welcome to my kitchen !
