Summary

Passionate and reliable kitchen professional with over three years of experience working in a fast-paced ramen chain in Japan, along with hands-on training in family-run restaurants. Growing up in a family where my grandmother ran a soba noodle shop, and my father owned an Indian curry restaurant, I naturally developed a deep love for cooking. I often helped out in their kitchens during my student years, learning the value of precision, tradition, and flavor.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and baking at home.

Preparing meals for others and seeing their happy faces brings me genuine joy—it’s what drives my passion for food. I am now seeking a chef or kitchen staff position where I can bring this dedication and energy to a professional culinary team.
