Jane Shohara Matsumoto is currently the Culinary Cultural Arts Program Curator at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC). She has worked in the public sector for 25 years, primarily in public transporation implementing the TAP smart card, but her passion is in food—its history, science, and the preparation of many different types of cuisnes, especially Japanese foods. When she is not working, she is buried in food blogs, cookbooks, or simply cooking in her kitchen. She is an avid traveler and also loves to hike.
Hello, my name is Rebeca Silvia Loyola Takaki. I am a 4th generation Nikkei and, together with my family clan, we are tracing the origins of my great-grandfather Mohei Tacagi, a Japanese immigrant who, since arriving in Mexico, has been losing contact with his family of origin. We are the Nikkei of Mohei Tacagi who know nothing about Japanese culture.
