▼About Umami Mom
Hi there! I'm a Japanese working mom living in Canada.
I introduce easy Umami recipes based on Japanese food.
My 2-year-old, Yui-chan, used to be a picky eater, but now she can eat almost everything after I learned about "umami" (she still sometimes refuses to eat depending on her mood, though 😅).
I would be happy if my videos could help someone looking for kid-friendly meal ideas.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!
