On Friday, May 8, 2026, we will hold a talk event: Kaoru Ariga x Akari Hasegawa on "How Are Recipes That Move People Created?".
We will welcome soup writer Kaoru Ariga and cooking expert/registered dietitian Akari Hasegawa to the stage to discuss their starting points as cooking experts active in various fields such as publishing, serials, and media appearances and what they want to do in the future in a conversation format.
Akari Hasegawa began her path as a cooking expert after discovering Kaoru Ariga's recipes. We will delve into their thoughts on "recipes that move people" and "working as a cooking expert, creating books, and engaging in social media activities."
