Earthin' Kitchen Greece

03/09/2026

An 8 year journey woven around one single thread: to build something of my own while sharing my love of cooking.

The Netherlands was where I found my individuality. It was where I learned to express who I was becoming and to be fearless. I didn't know anything and it felt scary to do everything 'adult' for the first time. 

I planted the seed of who I want to be and I showed up—to the cafés, to the people, even to the food bank, and to the community that nurtured my cookie business. 

Six and a half years later, life brought me back to Japan after I ended my marriage. I carried the hope for a fresh start but with a deep sense of uncertainty.

Time passed with the seasons and I started my second project... 

Greece. The warmth of its people invited me to begin again with a new angle. This time not only did I sell cookies but I also taught how to cook a Japanese meal. 

In Kavala, I met compassion and passion in every soul. Here I worked together with the people who shared something fundamental with me—to look towards a bright and thriving future.

I learned to support, be supported, and to be humble through accelerated times. I let go when things stopped working and projects failed. 

I planted the seed of grace and I trusted the process from within and out.

When I returned to Japan once again, in some ways I felt like I'd failed. A 'make it or break it' kind of deal pushed me to leave Greece when I really didn't want to. 
..three years have passed since then. 

Now this page will hold a third energy with a project I'm birthing with my partner. Having connected with the feeling of 'home' within myself has allowed me to grow roots in the country where I was born and raised.

The love for cooking led me to experiment with baking and package a cookie box for strangers.
✧
The risks I took nudged me to knock on café doors with a project idea and teach someone to make sushi for the very first time. 
✧
And it's the kindness of the people I met in each and every country that has carried my project this far. 

This next chapter, our kitchen car ‘Rosemary Rye’, is visioning for 2027.💖

(❀´ ˘ `❀)✨Grateful to everyone who joined our last workshop yesterday😌🤗♥︎

It has truly been a journey in Kavala!
Behind Earthin' Kitchen is one Japanese girl passionate to bridge cultures and people to experience something they've never had before.

Her vision is wide in the belief that, whether that's with food, language or people, through new and authentic experiences we can come to a point of opening our hearts to better understanding of the world and the people around and within our community living side by side, on this shared planet. 🌎𖠋𖠋✨🪐

Earthin' Kitchen's journey continues in Japan.🏞✈️ It is unknown to Elisa what unfolds on her path but she will remember this time as one of the most cherishing moments in Greece. A place to be retuned.🐳

Appreciation to all of you who had shared your time with us during workshops, and at nekubi where people are brought together.💓
