Originally from Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, she worked as a stylist for television and magazines before transitioning to a food coordinator.
Driven by a desire to pass on the treasures of Okinawa left behind by our ancestors to future generations, I became an assistant to Ryukyu cuisine researcher Kayoko Matsumoto and learned Ryukyu cuisine from the basics.
In 2007, she opened "Yonna Food Kayo Kazumi Cooking Class," where people can learn to cook in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. To further pursue Ryukyu cuisine, she has also studied elderly care food and traditional Chinese medicine medicinal cuisine. Drawing on her experience and intuition as a housewife who regularly participates in Okinawan events, she has developed her own unique world, including offering market tours and Okinawan cooking experience classes as a service for tourists since 2012. She has also conducted numerous cooking classes outside of Okinawa and overseas, and from 2024 to 2026, she served as an Okinawa Tourism Ambassador (Food Category), contributing to Okinawan tourism, demonstrating her diverse range of activities.
Starting in April 2026, I will be in charge of the cooking segment "Watery Day Cooking" on the Ryukyu Asahi Broadcasting (QAB) information program Catchy.
