Nariko brings a world of experience and passion to the table. Her love affair with cooking began in her mother's kitchen, taking her on a journey from Malaysia to India and New Zealand. Her joy lies in sharing recipes with friends and students worldwide. Teaching Japanese, she noticed the magic of combining language and cooking, leading her to dedicate herself to both. She's even a certified decorative sushi instructor under the Japan Sushi Instructors Association (JSIA)
