自然と共に生きる人、生きる力がある人は、なんてしなやかで美しいのでしょう。
料理を通して、自然に寄り添う生産者や地域の人たちとの出会いを伝えることが私のミッション。
便利な社会とは対照的に、人と人との関係が見えづらくなっている昨今、だからこそ、人と人とをもっと有機的に近づけ、作り手と食べ手、お互いに顔の見える食卓を。
それが、人やモノ、そして自然を大切にする心につながっていくと信じて。
Nao’s mission is to share through her cuisine the stories of food and where it comes from, as her cooking
is inspired by the people who produce the finest in organic ingredients with a sense of commitment in preserving our natural resources for future generations. By bringing closer those who eat her dishes and those who produce the ingredients, she hopes to create a community of food awareness, where people recognize the benefits of ingredients that are harvested in ways that are ecologically sound as a delicious option in their food choices. Nao believes that educating the next generation about food play an important part in a society that prioritizes a sustainable future. Her collaborations include working as Chef Teacher
for Edible Schoolyard Japan, a food education curriculum for children.
