Our Story

Taste of Japan was created for those in the Bay Area wanting homecooked Japanese food.

Japanese home chefs recreate the taste of home in the Bay Area.

Taste of Japan meal kits are great for beginner home cooks or people on the go. Cooking time for recipes are around 30 minutes each and come with easy to follow photo instructions and pre-measured and pre-packaged ingredients. We make it easy, so you can cook with ease.

We'd love to grow with the Japanese food lovers by engaging with their recommendations, wants, and needs.

    I have been living in the Bay Area for over 17 years. When I first moved to the United States, I could not find the taste of home that I missed, even at Japanese restaraunts. I became obsessed with researching affordable ways to create meals that tasted a bit like home, by using local ingredients from the Bay Area. As a mother of three, I think of busy mothers who may come across the same issues.
