About Me

Hi. I'm yucco. I am a chef and cooking instructor.
As a child I was always interested in beauty, so for my first job I became a hair & make-up artist.
Through this work I met clients and celebrities from all-over Japan. I realized that I should expand my horizons and started traveling abroad.
I learned the joy of eating during those trips. I taught myself how to cook some of the new dishes that I liked, and when I returned to Japan I started a cafe to communicate my experience to many people.

Through cooking and hospitality, I noticed the importance of the balance between the mind and body. I continued this through studying massage, counseling, Yakuzen (Japanese holistic cooking) and aromatherapy. I worked for about 10 years professionally in this field.

To me, home cooking is centered on the happiness and health of the family. It is nourishing, and once you get the basics, Japanese dishes are easy to prepare on a daily basis.
I decided to start a classroom to extend the hospitality I received abroad to those who visit Japan.

I love to travel, and food, meet people, new experience!!!
