'I actually like eating more than cooking,' she said.
Madeline Wells/SFGATEThat’s because the face of popular Japanese food blog Just One Cookbook can usually make something better at home. Born and raised in Yokohama, Japan, and with an 11-year career of sharing Japanese recipes with millions of readers, Nami knows what’s good when it comes to her native cuisine.
“Most Japanese restaurants in the U.S. are not operated by Japanese owners or chefs,” Shen said. “And I would say the majority serve very generic food like teriyaki salmon … and so when we find a restaurant that's run by a Japanese chef, the creativity, the flavor is different.
“When I first came here and I missed Japanese food and I had to cook for myself, I realized, oh, I know all these dishes because I've been in the kitchen with my mom,” she said. “... I actually like eating more than cooking. That's why I actually like to cook — so that I can eat good food.”
