Hi, I’m Moe. I am a Japanese mom and the founder of Kimono Mom. I was born in Kyoto, Japan and worked as a geisha. Now I live in the United States with my family.
This channel shares simple healthy Japanese home cooking.
I started this journey after I gave birth to my daughter in 2019. I went through postpartum depression and felt lost.
I began filming in a small kitchen in Tokyo. Cooking and sharing my daily life helped me come back to myself.
Today, I am building Kimono Mom as a global food brand.
Our viewers are all around the world. We call them Kimonoko. They are not just viewers. They are part of this journey. This community means a lot to me.
My goal is to build a food system that brings warm meals and care to families around the world.
I am also creating food products and systems that help busy families enjoy warm meals at home.
If you are building your life, raising a family, or working toward something important, I hope this channel gives you strength.

UMAMI FURIKAKE is finally here!🥳🌸Do you know furikake? In Japan, it’s a beloved rice topping that many of us grew up with.
My daughter loves furikake so much, and she is actually our little R&D director for this product👩🔬🥄🥰
I always dreamed of making one with clean ingredients, something I could feel good about even when she sprinkles a lot. Most furikake in the US comes in jars, but seaweed and sesame are delicate ingredients. So we made ours in individual packets to help keep every sprinkle fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor!
It’s plant-based, gluten-free, additive-free, and made with authentic Japanese flavor🌸((Made in Japan))
UMAMI FURIKAKE is now rolling out at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide!
When you find it, please pick one up and try it with your family.
And this summer, we’re going on our 2nd UMAMI Tour!🚌💕Check the schedule in the comment section and come meet the three of us!!! We can’t wait to see you!🌸

I had the honor of joining the Whole Foods Market podcast “Beyond the Board” to share the story behind Kimono Mom and UMAMI SAUCE.
This was also my first time speaking as a founder on a podcast — and the entire interview is in English!🇺🇸
For those of you who have supported me for many years and watched my English learning progress along the way, I would really love for you to watch this episode too❤️
Thank you always for supporting our journey!!

Happy Birthday our little princess, Sutan🎂✨We wish your life becomes everything you dream of.
At 5, you moved from Tokyo to the U.S. and traveled across the country. At 6, you went to a local school, learned a new language, and made many wonderful friends on your own.
Watching you grow into such a strong and bright girl makes us so proud.
Keep shining, always.
We love you❤️
Yesterday, we celebrated together as a family of three, and with a special surprise, it became a birthday full of happy tears🥳✨
