About us

At Paqupel Japan, we share authentic Japanese recipes along with the culture and stories behind them — from everyday home cooking and centuries-old traditions to the dishes trending in Japan right now.
We are the Paqupel Japan Team, Japanese cooks living in Japan. Every recipe here is developed, cooked and tested in our own kitchen, and we film many of them as we cook — the videos on our recipe pages are our own. What you find here is the food we actually make and eat. We hope this site becomes a way to discover Japan, one dish at a time.
We also run a Japanese-language site with a different focus — recipes for a wide range of dietary needs, written for readers in Japan. If you're interested, feel free to check out the Japanese version of Paqupel.
As non-native English speakers, we write our recipes, articles, and everything else we publish here in Japanese, and use AI assistance to translate them into English. We do this to share Japanese food and culture faithfully with a global audience. If any wording is unclear, please feel free to reach out.
