Cooking is my passion and I have always enjoyed being a chef.
I love creating new dishes and experimenting with different flavors and ingredients.
But unfortunately, I have a chronic arm pain that sometimes flares up and prevents me from working in the kitchen. It's very frustrating and disappointing for me, but I don't let it stop me from pursuing my dreams. I have decided to use my creativity and reputation as a chef to transform myself.
1) KOL
Many of my friends have told me that I should become a KOL (key opinion leader) because I have a million fans on Facebook and I could make a lot of money from it. But it's not that easy for me as a professional chef. I only want to recommend things that I truly love and enjoy. That's why I have turned down many brands that wanted to work with me. I don't want to compromise my integrity or lose the trust of my fans. I love cooking and sharing my recipes with people who appreciate them. That's what makes me happy, not money or fame.
I am delighted to announce that I am collaborating with Le Creuset as I really use and love it.
2) I have a new gig as a guest chef in different hotels. It's a lot of fun because I get to work with other talented chefs who help me prepare my dishes. Plus, I can serve a lot more people every night. When I cook at my own restaurant, as it is very small, I can only accommodate four guests at a time.
This year, I was working in Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay during the Chinese New Year.

3) I will write on Newspaper in Japan
I also have some exciting news to share with you all. I will be a columnist on newspaper starting from next month. Yes, you read that right. It is interesting that a chef holds a pen instead of cleaver, but I think it will be a fun and rewarding challenge. I hope you will enjoy reading my column as much as I enjoy writing it.
Although I am transforming myself, I am a chef deep inside. ?Cooking is my passion and my creative outlet. Cooking makes me happy and relaxed, and I feel like I can express myself through food.
