Kyoko Salbot - Culinary creator

Introducing Kyoko - married to a Frenchman, they have two children - a son and a daughter.  Kyoko was born in Tokyo, and is the eldest daughter of the family. Her family had run a traditional Japanese inn set in the region of Nikko for generations. Like many Japanese, after graduating from university, she joined the workforce as an office worker for a major corporation in Tokyo. The next step in her journey was becoming an assistant for one of her aunts - a professional in the world of cooking. She advised Kyoko to further her skills in the field in France. She stayed in France for a while, gathering experience at a grande maison of French gastronomy, then returning to Japan when she was convinced that she had found “her way.” 

Currently, her world of food/cooking is vast: she gives cooking classes, has published over 30 books of her recipes, provides recipes to magazines, and actively engaging digitally. Her acute sense of refined cuisine, an incomparable finesse in the choice of ingredients and a deep taste for simple cooking have been some of the factors engaging her fans over the years.
