About Kyrié
こんにちは (konnichiwa)!
I’m Kyrié the Foodié, pronounced kee-ree-ay the food-ee-ay!
Growing up between Japan and the U.S., I’ve always lived in a cultural melting pot, moving over 10 times by the time I was in high school.
Being half-Japanese and half-White, the American in me has recognized how intimidating it can be to cook dishes from other countries. My upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for bridging cultural divides. That’s why I love crafting dishes that blend my background with Japanese flavors.
My culinary journey began at home, where my mom, a Sendai, Japan native, passed down her love for food and home cooking. Many of my recipes are cherished family traditions.
Beyond the culinary realm, I love running, weightlifting, hiking in the outdoors, painting, drawing, and playing the piano. I find inspiration in various forms of artistic expression!
I’m glad you’re here and hope you find some joy and inspiration from my recipes!
