From my kitchen, with love — under the spirit of wa

Konnichiwa, I’m Yumi from Tokyo, Japan.Life has taken me to many places — China, the U.S., Japan, and now Amsterdam — and in every city, I’ve found myself exploring local food and warm kitchen moments.
For me, food is never just food.It’s the laughter around the table, the smell that brings back a memory, and the people who make that moment special.
At home, I love cooking for my family and friends — simple, heartwarming dishes inspired by Japanese home cooking and the flavors I’ve met around the world.“wa” means harmony — a sense of peace, connection, and togetherness. That’s the spirit behind wa table — a place where cultures meet gently, and where we can share a peaceful, warm moment around the table.
