COOKING DEMONSTRATor
Mutsuko Soma
Mutsuko Soma is the owner chef of Kamonegi in Seattle.
While Mutsuko Soma served as chef in other restaurants in Seattle, she dreamed of introducing fresh soba, like the kind her grandmother made for family dinners, to the masses. She founded Kamonegi as a pop-up and opened Kamonegi the restaurant in October 2017.
Kamonegi translates literally to “duck and leek,” and alludes to when one good thing brings another. In Japan, duck and leek is also a classic culinary pairing so the sight of a duck bringing a leek connotes an abundance of good fortune where one closely follows another. The namesake Kamonegi soba is also one of the most popular soba dishes at the restaurant.
Chef Soma also has WSET Level 3 certified sake and Wine.
She opened Hannyatou sake bar in 2019 which is 2 doors down from Kamonegi.
