Welcome to Japanese Mom Makes!

​

Hello! If you’ve supported my YouTube channel, I’m so happy to see you here on my blog. And if this is your first time meeting me—welcome! It’s very nice to meet you.

Since I only share a little about myself on my channel, let me properly introduce myself.
 

I was born and raised in Nagoya, Japan. Growing up, I was surrounded by the English books my mom was studying, so I naturally became interested in American culture. In the summer of my sophomore year of high school, I had the chance to visit the United States. Later, during my junior year in college, I studied in the Midwest—and that’s where I met my husband.

We spent our first 10 years of marriage in Nagoya before moving to the United States, where I still live today.

​

My passion for cooking began after my father was diagnosed with multiple cancers and given less than a year to live. That experience taught me how deeply homemade meals can comfort and connect people.

To me, homemade cooking isn’t about fancy, restaurant-style presentation. It’s about the flavors you grow up with—the ones that stay with you for a lifetime. Sometimes, a simple dish can bring back a vivid memory from long ago.

​

I hope some of my recipes will become part of someone’s cherished memories in the future.

Thank you again for coming to Japanese Mom Makes!
