Who runs this place?
This site is actually just run by me — Chef Goku!
I am just a regular working guy who loves Japanese food. I lived in Japan for a couple of years, and have frequently been in and out of the country since 2016.
Every time I leave, I immediately miss the food.
So, I decided that I should learn to cook all the wonderful dishes for myself!
This site was created in 2018 as a way to document everything I learn about Japanese food and cooking.
Cooking also led me to one of my newer obsessions: Japanese kitchen knives!  So, a lot of content on this blog is also dedicated to knives.
Every product recommendation on this site is something that I would personally use myself. Every recipe is one that I have actually cooked myself.
I hope that you will find something useful at The Chef Dojo. If you have any feedback, or friendly comments, please send a message.
