Welcome to DARUMA KITCHEN!

This site is run by the two of us, both deeply passionate about food and travel. We first crossed paths under the historic Ishiwari-zakura (Rock-Splitting Cherry Tree) in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. Today, we are based in Tokyo and Kanagawa, working together to share our love for Japanese culinary culture.

Our mission is simple: to introduce the joy of authentic Japanese home cooking and the artistry of sushi to people all around the world. We hope this site helps you fall in love with Japan even more, and serves as a friendly guide to make your visit here smooth, fun, and truly unforgettable.
