Growing up in Toyohashi, Japan, I was surrounded by the aromas of my mother, aunt, and grandmother whipping up mouthwatering homemade meals for our family. My father loved inviting his co-workers over to savor her delicious creations! one grandfather as an international businessman and the other as a city mayor promoting globalization, my family always inspired me to make a meaningful impact on society. I set my sights high and dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, which me to study abroad in the United States after high school Fast forward 26 years, and I’ve been soaring as a professional pilot since 2001! My career has taken me on incredible adventures around globe, introducing me to diverse cultures and mouthwatering cuisines—especially the enchanting world of breads and pastries! My husband and I share a passion for cooking, and I’ve dived into baking breads and cultivating organic fruits and vegetables in our garden. As we prepared to start a family, the idea of becoming a professional baker from home began to take shape.  I’m taking a joyful break from flying nurture our two wonderful children and grow my baking business! I love welcoming regular customers to my home in Central Point, where they pick up fresh bread, pies, cookies, and other scrumptious treats made from scratch. I’m also thrilled to greet at the Rusted Gate Farm stand in Central Point, OR, my baked goods are available at Pop-up Bakery throughout the year. From 2025, you can find my delightful sourdough loaves at Cartwright's Medford, The Drift Collective in Ashland, and Ashland Food Co-op. I’m incredibly excited and grateful for all your support!
