About me

I have spent many years learning about the traditional Japanese fermented food “nukazuke” and how to create and maintain a nukazuke bed, and I continue to research this topic as I tend to my nukazuke bed on a daily basis.Currently, we offer a workshop on nuka-zukemi (rice bran pickling), sharing the charm of Japan's fermentation culture and nuka-zukemi with people from Japan and around the world.The rice bran floor is home to many beneficial microorganisms that help transform vegetables into delicious, healthy food.During the experience, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a fun exploration of the food culture passed down through generations in Japanese households, learning how to make rice bran noodles and understanding the process of fermentation.
