Hi, I’m Martha!
I founded Nuh-Rish because I love food. I love my kids, my family, my friends… and in my quest to always provide an optimal life for those I love, I found myself searching for the best and most nutritious food available. I found myself doing a lot of research and studying about food, the relation and effect it has on our bodies and our minds.
Nuh-Rish was born from that passion and from the desire to share that found knowledge while providing more delicious yet nutritious plant-based options.
はじめまして、マルタです。
私は食が大好きでNuh-Rish を設立しました。自分の子供、家族、友人も大好きです。愛する人たちに常に最適な生活を提供したいという気持ち(探求?)から、私は自分自身がいつも高品質で最も栄養価の高い食品を探していることに気づきました。私は、食べ物が私たちの体と心に与える関係と影響について、多くの調査と研究を行っていることに気づきました。Nuh-Rish は、その情熱と発見した知識を共有したいという願望から生まれました。もっとも最適な生活はプラントベースだという発見。しかし、その生活はどう送っていくか。その悩みを解決するために自分の歩んだ道の経験や知識をシェアします。
My expertise
Two Decades of Japan-life
After living in Japan for 2 decades you would think I know the ropes right? Well I do. I have learned to navigate pretty much every aspect of life in Japan, especially when it comes to food. I know what to get, and when, and where to get it.
I loooooove food
I really enjoy eating good food. I love trying new foods and experimenting with ingredients. I don’t watch TV, but I binge on food shows. When I go to magazine stands, all I come out with is food magazines. When I splurge, I splurge on cookbooks (even though I could totally just get the kindle version). I am in my groove when I am eating/talking/teaching about/making good food. I am a big foodie.
My kids are my biggest challenge
My kids (now 6 and 9!) are both my biggest fans and my strictest judges. I know I’ve made a good one, when they ask for seconds and thirds and they say “Mommy you are the best chef ever!”. Still, they are never shy to tell me “mommy this is good, but it needs something….can we get some salt?” (they think salt can fix anything). They have taught me what it means to make food fun. And the best thing of all is that they are both growing big and strong on a plant-based lifestyle and THEY LOVE TO EAT.
