SCRATCHH / TRANSLATION

Good translation has good taste.

We work in Japanese food and English-language media every day. That experience shapes how we translate: with attention to what a home cook can follow and what an audience will feel.

Localization examples

ひと煮立ちさせ、火を止める。
Bring it just to a boil, then turn off the heat.

Give home cooks a clear action instead of a literal phrase.

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.
