A new space in our cooking studio!
Exciting update!
Last month, our cooking studio was closed for about a week for renovations.
It’s been a while since last year’s restroom expansion… and this time we focused on upgrading the hand-washing area.
Until now, we only had a family-use sink, so I often asked guests to wash their hands in the kitchen sink (and sometimes you even had to wait ).
For security reasons, we replaced one window with a wall. To improve the flow, we removed the entrance door and added a noren curtain instead. We also incorporated a pantry space.
And finally—we now have two extra sinks!
I’m so relieved that everyone can now wash their hands smoothly and enjoy the class more comfortably.
Please come and experience the refreshed studio!

Hello from Tokyo (October 2025)
Time flies—it’s already October!
Here in Tokyo, we can finally feel the crisp air of autumn.
The other day, a lovely American guest gave me this beautiful necklace.
I heard that the color combination represents the nursing corps — so meaningful and full of care.
My daughter and I couldn’t resist taking a photo together. Thank you so much!
Autumn is the season of abundance and heartwarming dishes.
I hope you can take some time to enjoy a cup of warm tea and the flavors of the season, and spend this month feeling peaceful and cozy.
(This month, my daughter and I have our birthdays. We’re both turning a year older — oh my! 🫣)
