Our Story

Hi, I'm Tomomi, founder and CEO of Where the Wild Things Eat! Originally from Yamaguchi, Japan, I packed my bags and moved to the U.S. at 23 in search of adventure and in 2019, my family and I settled in Colorado to follow our love for outdoors.

Where the Wild Things Eat was born from my love for two places that shaped me — Japan where I grew up with deep savory umami flavors and Colorado where I found inspiration in the wild beauty of nature. Our brand blends these two worlds bringing together.

Our goal is to bring a taste of Japanese umami to kitchens around the world blending authenticity with local taste using natural ingredients.

Mission Statement

At Where the Wild Things Eat, we believe food should do more than just taste good, it should do good. Come join us and let's eat wild! Our mission goes beyond creating food that simply tastes good. We aim to make a positive impact with every product we craft. We believe what we eat should do good for you, the communities we touch and the environment. Let's make the world a better place together.

Meet "Nibble aka Mogu"

Our logo represents a fuzzy, deer-antlered forest spirit - a symbol of curiosity, playfulness and a deep love for nature. Its name is "Nibble" and "Mogu (モグ)" in Japanese. It embodies both the joy of eating and the richness of living in harmony with nature.
