About the cook

Hello everyone I am Eiko! I am from Sendai, Japan, where the massive earthquake hit in 2011. My appreciation for home-cooked food was developed through the experience of eating simple meals in the candle light with my family during the frequent earthquake aftershocks. Although the food was simple, it was made complete by my family’s presence - we were warm, safe and together. I have been in Singapore’s F&B industry for over 10 years. Now, I cook for my family and guests who enjoy this style of food. It always touches me when they say ‘thank you’ after a hearty meal.

What’s the story behind the dishes at the dinner?

I will be presenting dishes made in the traditional Japanese bento style. In Japan, bento is prepared during our children’s sports day and festive celebrations. People would share bentos during the sakura season when they picnic under the stunning cherry blossoms. It is a way of sharing and a way for people to come together.
