Our Story

ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS AESTHITIC LIVING

At Mirukashi Salon, we believe that beauty is not a luxury, but a practice. That living with intention in how we eat, move, create, and relate has the power to nourish and transform.
This is not about perfection or performance. It is about devotion. To simplicity, to quality, to a way of living in which every ingredient, object, and action is considered and meaningful.

Here we practice a quiet philosophy.
Do beautiful things. With excellence. As a way of life.

 We gather not to escape daily life, but to meet it fully. With intention. With grace. With beauty at the center.

Japan taught me this.
And now, I share it with others. How to belong to the moment.
Fully. Sensually. Soulfully.

The Mirukashi Salon is for seekers, makers, cooks, artists, thinkers, doers — for those who long to reclaim the quiet power of living intentionally. 

Do beautiful things. With excellence. As a way of life.

For anyone called to live artfully — to slow down, to steep in simplicity, to embrace refinement without pretension, and to find the sacred in the everyday.

We cook. We gather. We settle in and pay attention. To the quiet beauty of daily rituals.
To meals made with care and to gestures filled with meaning — not as luxuries, but as everyday essentials.

Mirukashi Salon is not a retreat. It is a return.
To what matters. To what nourishes. To what lasts.

No. o1

Artful

What began as a personal journey of immersion in Japan’s culinary and cultural traditions has grown into a gathering place for people to experience a way of life where beauty, craft, and presence are woven into every moment.

No. o2

Intentional

Here in the countryside of Kyushu, meals are aligned to the micro-seasons, gestures are infused with care, and craft is a quiet conversation between hands and time. This is not a performance of culture but an invitation into its living rhythm — soft, rigorous, and quietly transformative.

No. o3

Nourishing

Mirukashi Salon exists to preserve and share these ways of being — to inspire a more artful, intentional, and nourishing life, one season, one meal, one encounter at a time.

ORIGIN
& ESSENCE

FOOD nourishes, TRAVEL inspires, and CULTURE is the pulse, the heartbeat.

Join me in the countryside of Japan and discover not only what makes Japanese cuisine extraordinary, but how beauty, care, and attention can transform even the smallest act into something sacred.

Each salon session is shaped by the season — a blend of culinary immersion, cultural discovery, and aesthetic refinement.

You’ll gather ingredients, meet with local producers, cook alongside me in the Mirukashi kitchen, dine at our favorite restaurants, and be invited into my partner Hanako Nakazato's pottery atelier for a rare and exclusive glimpse into her craft.

But more than that, you’ll be invited into a way of being — one that uncovers the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Here, we slow down. We steep ourselves in the quiet rhythms of the micro-seasons. We discover how everyday gestures — preparing a meal, serving tea, crafting the tools of daily life — can become portals into a more meaningful way of living.

BEAUTY MUST
GROW from
the 
REALITIES
of LIFE.
