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.
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.
真 SHIN
Truth
Mirukashi Salon celebrates the real —
the micro-season, the ingredient’s fleeting nature, the honest gesture, the unadorned bowl.
Nothing is contrived. Everything is born of the moment.
This is shin.
美 BI
Beauty
The kind that arises from presence, attention, and refinement.
The beauty of rice fields glowing in twilight.
The beauty of a hand-made vessel.
The beauty of tea brewed with care.
This is bi.
清 SEI
Integrity
The quiet rightness beneath every choice —
how we source, how we handle, how we honor what is shared. Always in alignment: form true to function, gesture true to intention, self true to spirit. This is sei.
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 and weaves together culinary and cultural immersion, artisanal tradition, 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 unique perspective and craft.
But more than that, you’ll step into a practice of presence, a way of being that reveals 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 like preparing a meal, serving tea, or crafting the tools of daily life can become mindfulness in motion and portals into a more meaningful way of living.
Step inside and taste Japan's finest flavors.
Through picture windows, the landscape becomes art.
We carry the flavors of the season into the kitchen and transform them into lyrical meals.
At a round table, every voice belongs to the same conversation.
Arrive fully. Breathe deeply. Taste beauty in every bite.
Take A LOOK INSIDE

THE SACRED LIVES IN THE SENSING
You rush, you produce, you achieve… yet beauty slips past in the blur. Something in you whispers: life could be fuller, slower, richer than this.
What if days could unfurl like poems rather than routines — what if presence, not productivity, became the truest measure of your days?
Mornings open with the rising sun and steam curling from a handmade cup. Meals take their shape from the tide and the turning of the seasons. Your senses quicken. Your gaze deepens. Your pace finds its true rhythm.
Lay down the noise, the urgency, the weight of constant doing. Step into an intimate gathering in the Japanese countryside, where craft, nature, and season converge in quiet rituals of beauty. Return home nourished — carrying a renewed way of seeing, sensing, and being.
BEAUTY MUST
GROW from
the REALITIES
of LIFE.
