Welcome to Just One Cookbook, your go-to resource for authentic, easy-to-make Japanese recipes!
Konnichiwa! I'm Nami. I’m excited to share my passion for Japanese cuisine with you! On my YouTube channel and website, you’ll find over 1,200 carefully crafted recipes, cooking tips, and step-by-step guides to help you recreate Japanese dishes right at home—from everyday favorites to hidden gems.
Originally from Yokohama, Japan, I now live in San Francisco, California, with my family and our dog, Miso. I’ve authored three cookbooks (search on Amazon), in which I share everyday easy recipes to Japanese New Year "Osechi" recipes. I also sell Japanese tableware and kitchenware on my online store called JOC Goods. I wanted to bring handcrafted tableware and kitchenware from small Japanese kilns and workshops directly to your home. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to bring elegance and authenticity to your table, transforming every home-cooked meal into a beautifully presented experience.❤
