What can Kaori do for you?

Kaori provides consulting and recipe development for restaurant owners and operators who have a desire to re-invigorate their food & drink offerings. Kaori specializes in coaxing more mouth-watering flavors out of your dishes, flavors that attract customers back to your restaurant again and again. Kaori revitalizes existing recipes to make them even more irresistible. She maximizes flavor while minimizing your staff's effort (no long, tiresome recipes!), all while achieving authentic taste and quality. Kaori also brings her knowledge of owning a cooking school and teaching culinary classes as a possible additional income into your business!

First, Kaori will meet with you in person (or virtually) to discuss your current menu offerings, and discuss your goals as a food business. Information and questions will be provided before our meeting so that you feel well prepared to explain your desired results as a food business. This is an informal, no pressure meeting to get a pulse on what's needed and what steps to take next that would benefit your business.

Next, Kaori will meet with you at your location and taste through your entire menu. Kaori will point out dishes on your menu that could go from ordinary to irresistable in seconds. From there, Kaori will create new recipes or add to additional ones, and your team will be taught how to cook the new recipes in an effective and efficient manner.

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to hire a professional consultant, in fact you will be pleased when it comes to Kaori's pricing structure and punctuality. Most of all, you and your team having an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow will allow you to fully benefit from Kaori's flavor consulting and recipe development services.

Reviews

"Kaori's ramen class was fantastic. Everything was delicious, and Kaori was patient and knowledgeable about making ramen. She gave tips on how to make it easier, and I learned a lot that I will be trying at home.
​The broth, the tare, the toppings, and the ramen were so fresh and flavorful."
