Yoko’s Plate

Happy Healing Japanese Cuisine

“From a little girl, I have always loved food. But what I love even more, what truly makes me happy, is seeing the big smile on people’s faces after eating my cuisine. I have intensely researched the importance and benefits of Food Therapy. I am dedicated to providing delicious and healthy food to as many people as possible.”

  • "Yoko is a true artist in the kitchen"

    “Her Culinary creations reflect the quality of her ingredients, the refinement of her skill, and her passion for what she does, and will delight anyone privileged enough to consume them.

    Heather Benning

    Co-owner/founder Be Love Restaurant

  • "Yoko’s full personality shines through her meals, her love of ingredients, and her ancestor's wisdom."

    “ She is the first person in my culinary journey ever to consistently present satisfying flavors, over and over again, and you will wish you could just keep eating as each dish is presented.”

    Peter Elkins

    Entrepreneur

  • "I feel I have regained my health with your help and that I have learned a lot about staying healthy as well."

    “That is a priceless gift Yoko. One of the big benefits of having your food has been a chance to try food that is not available in restaurants which has been my only exposure to Japanese food. It has broadened my knowledge and I appreciate that very much. You are so creative in your approach.”

    Joy Illington

  • "Yoko's food is exquisite."

    “I find myself tasting it and marveling at the depth of flavor: her skills and the quality of ingredients shine through.”
