About
Hi, I’m Kei Tsuda—most people just call me K-san.
After years of cooking Japanese home meals for my own family and friends, I started Ikigai Japanese Home Cooking to bring that same warmth into homes across MetroWest Massachusetts.
I focus on simple, family-friendly dishes made with everyday local ingredients, cooked right in your kitchen and customized to your tastes. No restaurant rush, no complicated shopping—just real Japanese comfort, made for you at home.
Delicious Japanese meals without the hustle of going to a restaurant.
