Ochikeron, a Tokyo-based YouTuber, has transformed her kitchen into a studio as she uploads Japanese cooking videos introducing easy and quick-to-prepare recipes for viewers.
She began her YouTube channel, which now has close to 600,000 subscribers, right after the Great East Japan Earthquake — a tragedy that sparked her desire to promote something from Japan to the world. Having blogged for more than four years, Ochikeron has managed to compile over 300 recipes.
Despite her passion for cooking, Ochikeron has confessed to being a fussy eater. Her dislikes include most kinds of sashimi — including fatty tuna, squid and octopus — and most yakiniku (barbecued meat) items. Anything chewy, gooey or slimy is a no-no.
