Listening to YUKI ── careful, clear, and full of things I had never seen ── changed the way I look at things, and changed what I choose across my whole life.

On what basis do I pick something when I buy it, how do I look at it, how do I fit my own comfort into that. I had never had these angles before, and I am glad to have gained a basis for choosing.

Meeting her made my life, and the lives of people dear to me, richer. Skincare, food, and how to live.

I cannot count the times I was saved by the way she lives, by the kindness and beauty in her. I cannot go back to how things were. I cannot live without her! I am deeply grateful.

The way YUKI looks at skincare is genuinely wonderful. It starts with a careful conversation, and she listens honestly to what the person is troubled by and hoping for, and stays alongside them.

It felt good to use and it smelled lovely. I was completely satisfied. I have nothing but gratitude for her.

We have known each other about fifteen years now, and I ask her about all sorts of things whenever they come up ── cosmetics, skin, food.

Sixteen years since we met... I always rely on her. If anything happens, I go to her. She is that reassuring.

I made miso with my child. I was surprised that the miso we eat all the time was something we could make ourselves, and that the ingredients were so simple.

But then came the explanation of how to choose those ingredients ── “why this soybean, this koji, this salt” ── and it made sense, and the depth of it moved me.

A year later, the finished miso was astonishingly good, and my child and I learned what making something by hand really is.

YUKI’s sourdough was so good that I asked her to teach me. I had thought sourdough was difficult, but she taught it carefully, in a way a beginner like me could follow, and as simply as it could be done.

She explains the reason behind each step, and enjoys doing it, so the learning went deep and the time flew.

The baked loaf was soft right through the crust, moist and delicious, and I was so happy to have become able to make it myself.
There is always something new in what she says, and it is always easy to bring into daily life. It is a pleasure.

When we ran YUKI’s skincare session at our salon, the response from our customers was wonderful.
My hat is off to her ── she can advise from many directions at once, with aromatherapy and with knowledge of daily life.

Getting those different angles let people look again at their own skincare and the rhythm of their days ── we heard that more times than I can count.

Skincare is an expression of how you live.
“Intelligence is curiosity” fits YUKI exactly. I will go on cheering for the way she never stops digging.

Every time the season or my surroundings changed, my skin troubled me. These last few months especially, I had stopped knowing what to choose.
That was when a friend introduced me to Yuki.

She took her time and looked carefully at everything, starting from my surroundings, and we worked out together how to choose care that suits me.
For me it was a real discovery.

I am truly grateful to have been given a reason to look again at not only my skin but my whole life. Rather than aiming at perfect, I will keep going at my own pace, taking in Yuki’s advice without forcing it.

Through YUKI I learned about fermented food and about eating, and I began actually bringing it into my life. I spend more time facing my own body now, and I can feel that the way I pass each day has turned comfortable. As I looked again at what I choose and how I eat, I slowly came to know the rhythm that suits me.

I had always been concerned about my skin, and YUKI worked out with me how to choose care that suits it. I think my relationship with my skin has changed.

More than anything, I am deeply moved by how sincerely she thinks it through with you from every side of your life ── not just a fix for that moment.
