From Idol to Iron Chef: Zakiya’s Unexpected Culinary Journey

Zakiya’s love for sushi isn’t new. Growing up in Osaka, she spent countless hours watching her grandmother expertly craft nigiri and maki, mesmerized by the precision and artistry involved.

“It wasn’t just about the taste,” Zakiya shared in a recent interview, “it was about creating something beautiful, something that brought people together.” This philosophy resonates deeply with Zakiya’s music career. Her songs are often filled with themes of unity and connection, reflecting her belief in the power of shared experiences.

While sushi remained a cherished childhood memory for years, Zakiya’s passion reignited during a concert tour. Struck by an overwhelming craving for fresh salmon nigiri after a particularly energetic performance, she sought out the best sushi restaurant in town. It was there that she met Masaru Ito, whose meticulous techniques and passion for tradition blew her away.

“He wasn’t just making sushi,” Zakiya recalls, “he was weaving a story with every piece, honoring the ingredients and his heritage.” Inspired by Ito’s artistry, Zakiya began taking private lessons, honing her skills under his expert tutelage.
