— Weekly meal delivery · coming to Marin
HOME COOKING,
DELIVERED.
We're starting a weekly meal delivery across Marin: Japanese home cooking from our kitchen, like okayu (Japanese rice porridge), miso soup, salt-grilled salmon and simmered vegetables.
We'll open delivery town by town as neighbors sign up. Join the list and you'll hear first.
— What we're planning
ONE KITCHEN, A WEEK OF MEALS.
A week of dinners
Japanese home meals for your household: a main, small sides and rice, cooked for you and delivered chilled, ready to heat.
Nourished the Japanese way
Simmered, steamed and grilled more than fried, many small dishes, and dashi for flavor instead of fat and salt. How we cook.
For the people you love
Send a week of meals to new parents, a friend after surgery, or a parent who'd rather not cook.
