In 2016, Noriko established a cooking class in Japan for foreigners with the desire to "bring Japanese home cooking to the world". She introduces warm and delicious home cooking that Japanese people enjoy on a daily basis, and classes are held all over the country. The idea came to her 17 years ago. It was when she was invited to a local family during a trip to New Zealand. She was treated to handmade dishes that were full of the warmth of the family. She was deeply impressed by the deliciousness of the food, as well as the family bonds and local culture that were conveyed through the food, and was convinced that "Japanese home cooking has the same power to move people's hearts." Now, she travels between Japan and New Zealand, sharing the charm of Japanese food with people around the world. She not only teaches recipes, but also the stories and warmth that are inherent in the "taste of home". That is the essence of Noriko's cooking class.
