About TOMO
Hi, I’m TOMO!
I’m a 28-year-old guy, born and raised in Japan.
I share videos of Japanese home cooking on social media, with a little humor along the way.
My love for cooking started when I was 10 years old. For my mom’s birthday, I made her a chicken steak, and seeing how happy it made her was what sparked my passion for cooking.
Since then, I’ve taught myself how to cook, trying all kinds of recipes and learning through trial and error.
And here I am today, still enjoying cooking and sharing it with the world!
Our Story
Why This Site Exists
When I first started sharing cooking videos on social media, I didn’t include any recipes.
But over time, I started receiving comments like “I want to make this!”, “What ingredients do I need?”, and “What can I use instead?”
Those comments inspired me to create this website.
My goal is to make Japanese home cooking accessible to everyone, no matter where they live. That’s why I share clear, detailed recipes, along with helpful tips and ingredient substitutions.
I’ll keep adding more recipes and useful information so that even more people around the world can discover and enjoy Japanese home cooking!
My Dream
I was born and raised in Tokushima, Japan, a rural prefecture surrounded by beautiful countryside and rice fields.
Japan’s rural regions are full of wonderful ingredients and seasonings that are still little known to the wider world.
Through this website, I hope to share these hidden treasures of Japanese food with people all around the world.
