Yuup | Boro Sashiko Embroidery Workshop and Dumplings

Embark on a journey into the artful world of Boro Sashiko! Join Sachiko of Kinome Japonica and learn this traditional Japanese fabric mending technique.

kinome japonica

Sachiko is a chef and tutor teaching Japanese techniques and cuisine to food lovers up and down the UK.

Cooking binds Sachiko to her family's history. It is part of family banter that Sachiko's first encounter with the world was the scent of vinegar drifting from her mother's hands, a result of years of making sushi for their restaurant in Japan. Helping in her parent's business formed a focal part of Sachiko's upbringing, and she can't wait to share her culture and tradition with you.

Sachiko Saeki (She/Her)

Sachiko's parents had a casual diner restaurant in Japan where she spent her childhood helping out and taking her first steps in her cooking career. Cooking is part of her family, a joy and a fascinating, creative passion that serves as a way to connect to society.

She's had many years experience teaching different cooking classes from knife skills and care to sushi making.
