TanpopoStudio was established in late 2017 after closing Tanpopo Noodle Shop, which my husband and I owned for almost two decades and decided it was time to move on to new challenges and opportunities. Our vision for TanpopoStudio was to create a platform to showcase our years of culinary experiences, cooking classes, Japanese culture, arts and crafts, and international travel.
Today, we are pleased to announce we have done just that and are now looking to optimize our services to better assist our clients. To further this goal, we are first changing our company name and then separating our travel services from our culinary business such as cooking classes and private events.
