International Activities
“My mission is to bring smiles and wellness to the world through the art of Soba.”
To me, Soba-making is more than just a culinary skill; it is a form of “Moving Meditation.” >
I focus on the Zen and Mindfulness aspects of the craft—the tactile sensation of the flour, the rhythmic kneading, and the focus required to cut each noodle perfectly. These elements harmonize the mind and body, creating a profound sense of well-being. I am dedicated to providing a special moment where you can disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with Japanese tradition, health, and joy. I look forward to bringing this authentic “Soba Wellness” experience to your community.
Selected activities include:
- Global Leadership Training – Selected to lead a cultural revitalization program for South American community leaders (Supported by JICA).
- Slovenia – Cultural demonstration at “Japan Day,” hosted by the Embassy of Japan in Slovenia.
- Vietnam – Hands-on Soba workshop collaboration focusing on health and tradition.
