Born and raised in Japan, Mamie came to the States to study business at Baruch College in New York City.  It did not take long for Mamie to miss the authentic cusine of her native Japan.  Sushi, tempura, tofu and beautiful Japanese desserts became her new mission.  After graduation from business school and a brief career on Wall Street, Mamie abandoned corporate life for her culinary passion.  Finishing a Culinaru Arts degree from the Institute of Culinary Education (Peter Kump), she then continued her training at the test kitchen for Country Living Magazine in NYC and Le Bernardin as well as restaurants such as Nobu and Star Boggs.

Mamie now teached at the Institute of Culinary Education, the Natural Gourmet Institute, Sur La Table and Western Boces. In addition, she runs private cooking parties and gives at-home culinary lessons.  Mamie is also a sous chef at Annemarie's Dining Room (Annemarie Huste is a former private chef to Jackie Kennedy) in NYC and a catering chef to Star Boggs in Westhampton Beach.  Mamie works as a free-lance food stylinst and her work can be found in magazines, advertisments and cook books.
