Summary
From koji to kaiseki, Japan’s food culture is packed with ideas ready for the world. I help brands spot and convert these opportunities into products, narratives, and strategies that stick. My background melds Silicon Valley marketing, hands-on culinary work, and a decade and a half of food-focused media. Today, I consult on cross-cultural launches, trend forecasting, and consumer storytelling. Want to know how your ideas/products can find their footing globally? Let’s chat.
