Digital products

02 / WORDS THAT CROSS BORDERS
Translate the feeling.
A recipe needs to work in someone else’s kitchen. A line needs to land on someone else’s screen. We translate with both in mind.
We write and publish our own Japanese cooking videos in English: 569 on our YouTube channel. We translate for the screen we work on every day.

Give home cooks a clear action instead of a literal phrase.
ここ、めっちゃ大事です。
Don’t skip this part.
