About

Hi, I'm Tomoka, a Japanese home cook living in Australia and the creator of Table from Japan. I grew up in Japan and now cook simple Japanese meals for my family here.

The food I share is everyday Japanese home cooking: the rice bowls, soups, simple simmered dishes and sides that feel familiar around a family table.

After moving to Australia, I realised that many people who love Japanese food do not always know which ingredients to buy, how to use them or how to find the Japanese recipes that home cooks in Japan rely on every day. I created Table from Japan to make that journey easier.

I share recipes and practical guides from the perspective of an everyday home cook, using ingredients available in Australia. My hope is that this site helps you bring the warmth of Japanese home cooking to your own kitchen.
