I Am the Flavor Alchemist of Chiba

I studied all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays, but my story didn’t end in literature — it evolved into something even more flavorful. I became a culinary artisan, crafting additive-free kimchi not just as food, but as a form of art. With the heart of a poet and the hands of a craftsman, I built Yagachan Kimchi from scratch — no additives, no compromises, just nature, salt, and deep skill in harmony.

From the snowy mountains of Nagano to the electric energy of LA and the jazz-soaked streets of Greenwich Village, I’ve carried my dreams across oceans. Whether I’m hosting wine-filled gatherings with friends, cheering on my son in the M-1 Grand Prix, or planning a journey to Niagara Falls and beyond, one thing is clear:

I’m not just living a life —
I’m curating a legacy.
One jar, one laugh, one unforgettable story at a time.
