About Me

My name is Ayaka, originally from Japan. I founded Zen Kitchen Diary in London, where I share simple and comforting Japanese home-cooked recipes on my blog and Instagram, along with glimpses of my daily life and overseas culinary experiences. I trained at one of Tokyo’s most prestigious culinary schools, and I am also a certified tea ceremony practitioner and kimono stylist, deeply connected to traditional Japanese culture.

I love sharing the beauty of Japanese cuisine, while also drawing inspiration from the traditional dishes and food cultures I encounter in other countries.

My food philosophy

I believe that everyday meals are a special time to nourish both the body and mind. Through simple Japanese home cooking, I hope to inspire people to enjoy wholesome, comforting food. I also incorporate ideas from the traditional cuisines and food cultures I experience while traveling.
