We’re Aaron and Jess, and this blog is where we’re serving up our take on vegan Japanese recipes—the kind of food that’s full of flavor, mostly healthy, and made for sharing.
Aaron’s half Japanese and grew up cooking with his mum, who made all the traditional dishes totally plant-based. We’re talking proper home-cooked miso soups, rice bowls, noodle dishes—the works—all without meat, fish, or dairy. These days, we’re building on those roots and giving classic Japanese dishes a vegan twist, one tasty recipe at a time.
A few years back, Aaron even helped run a vegan Japanese noodle bar that toured music festivals around the country—big bowls of ramen, sizzling rice dishes, happy people. Now we’re back in the kitchen at home, experimenting, learning, and sharing everything we cook (the wins, the flops, and everything in between).
From sushi rolls to ramen, burgers to bento, this blog is packed with plant-based Japanese recipes that anyone can try at home—no fancy skills or obscure ingredients required.
