Yuko Nishino

Born in Germany and graduated college in Boston, and now live in Kamakura.I have studied making Japanese sweets for over 15 years . In the course of learning it I found its cultural and art aspects, beauty and history that I want to share them with travelers who visit Kamakura. Kamakura is very historical city with many temples surrounded by beautiful oceans and mountains but also the place where people love and welcome new things and take it into original and unique culture. I started MIMOSA because I want to share Japanese history and culture through making sweets under modern way with relax and casual atmosphere.
