Makiko Sano, raised in Tokyo, Japan, was steeped in the art of cooking from her early years, drawing inspiration from her mother, grandmother, and aunts who created meals from scratch in their bustling Japanese kitchen. For the past two decades, she has called London home, where she lives with her four children. Makiko's restaurant, Suzu, specializes in Japanese tapas, encompassing traditional sushi, sashimi, tempura, and her innovative dishes. Responding to a growing demand, she began offering sushi classes, imparting her knowledge to thousands of eager learners. Her focus on health and flavor has led her to introduce more vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, crafted especially for her son Leon, who is autistic.
Our tableware has been made with love, and sometimes needs a little extra care. While the majority of our products are microwave and dishwasher safe, sudden changes in temperature are likely to cause thermal shock, which will damage your item, and we don’t want that.
Check out our care guide here, so you can keep your tableware looking perfect for as long as possible.
As mentioned, most of our range is dishwasher and microwave safe, except a few ‘Crackle’ glazes, if you’re unsure then drop us an email info@mij.co.uk and we’ll be able to advise.
