November 1, 2024 — Kiki Kudo

It's hard to keep track of all the lives that Kiki Kudo has lived. She moved from Tokyo to New York in 2011 to work as a journalist after publishing two semi-academic books. Arriving in New York, she left writing behind as she immersed herself in the music and food scenes—producing and DJing while building a foodie following (Go check her #everydayfood and try not to drool). Now primarily known as a chef, music still plays a prominent role in her career. 

○ Your ideal mode of relaxation ?
● A long, soothing Epsom salt soak at 40°C, listening to the sounds of insects and frogs outside—pure bliss.

○ A recipe you recommend while listening to your playlist ?
● My morning go-to: oats with whole milk yogurt, sprouted black tahini sesame cream, sliced kiwi fruits, kinako powder, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

○ A restaurant where you feel at home ?
● Dimes Deli in NYC.
