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.
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.
