Welcome to Kitchen Princess Bamboo, your go-to destination for Japanese Everyday Food. My name is Akino Ogata, and I'm thrilled you've stopped by！ I'll post a new video every Saturday at 11:00 pm JST (6:00 am PST, 9:00 am EST). Whether you're a Japanese food enthusiast or just looking to expand your culinary skills, I'm here to help. I'm committed to sharing trusted recipes and techniques, from traditional Japanese dishes to street food and Japanese-style baking. Back in 2004, I launched my own small pastry shop in Nara, Japan's historic palace city. Fast-forward to March 2019, and I transitioned my business to a social welfare corporation dedicated to local community development. (Don't worry—I'm still involved as a consultant!) I'm excited to dedicate more time to creating delicious recipes and sharing them with my wonderful YouTube community. Let's embark on a journey to cook up some easy and delicious Japanese dishes and live our healthiest lives together！
