Coronation of Emperors

Served at Buckingham Palace

I was always fascinated by the country's imperial monarchy. Today, Japan is home to the only remaining emperor on Earth - a source of immense pride for me and many others! Although removed from us, we still feel connected through their gracious presence and deep-rooted cultural customs such as sushi. In 2007, it became my honourable privilege to serve at Buckingham Palace; something that will stay with me forevermore.

With much trepidation and opposition from friends and family, I married a foreigner in Japan. Only my grandmother gave me her blessing - she was overjoyed that we had chosen to make England our home due to Queen Elizabeth's reign. Even at the age of 80, my grandma travelled all the way to London for our wedding day where upon seeing Buckingham Palace she bowed deeply with heartfelt gratitude towards Her Majesty on behalf of myself; truly one of life’s sweetest moments! Although my marriage did not last, I remain profoundly grateful for this incredible country which has given me both business opportunities as well as wonderful friendships throughout many memorable experiences.

This month marks a momentous occasion - the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The joyous event will undoubtedly be felt by all, especially Her Majesty the Queen who can look forward to her son taking up his royal mantle as ruler of this fair nation! It is our hope that His Highness Charles will serve faithfully in reign for many years ahead.

“Makiko’s food is some of the best we have ever had. Delicious. Flavour filled. Inventive.


Everything she makes look simple takes artistry, knowledge and instinct. Makiko has all three and the most generous warm nature to boot. There is so much we have learnt from her and so much food we have enjoyed by her!! “

Young people with SpLD (specific learning difficulties) often find the move from school to college or university a difficult one.

I understand that every student is different and we provide a bespoke education for each individual. With small classes and highly specialist teaching staff, we help our students to achieve their full potential and make the move to further education a positive experience.


Makiko is the perfect teacher for boys. She knows how to keep them engaged and motivated, and most importantly, she knows how to get them to work hard.

Makiko has been catering and teaching Japanese for over 6 years, and has experience working with students of all ages. Her lessons are fun and engaging, and she always makes sure that her students are learning something new !
