Being born into the family of a sushi restaurant in Osaka, Shoko grew up in an environment where food was always at hand and since young, she had always loved to eat. Under the influence of her father, she quickly learned about what it takes to be on the culinary road. And having an overachiever elder who is the head chef of one of the top luxury Japanese restaurants in Singapore only inspired her more and spurred her forward in achieving what she wants.

After graduating from university, Shoko went to a cooking college while working at a luxury hotel. She then started her career in a large Japanese restaurant group, a high-class restaurant in Singapore, a confectionery shop, and also made a name for herself in the restaurant industry.  Shoko currently works as Spoonful’s event coordinator and business trip chef. She is a proud mother of two young children, she is exceptionally good at healthy home cooking for children.
