Background

Shima Tasan, widely known as the “Legendary Housekeeper,” is a culinary sensation in Japan whose career transitioned from a professional chef in Michelin-starred French restaurants to a freelance housekeeper. Her fame exploded through the television program Boiling Word 10, where her ability to prepare over 15 sophisticated dishes in just three hours using simple household ingredients captivated the nation. She is now a celebrated author and media personality, known for making authentic French home cooking accessible and “rational” for the modern Japanese kitchen.

The 2026 event at the Shiroyama Hotel Kagoshima is part of Shima Tasan’s premium talk and dining series, which brings her culinary philosophy to life in a luxury setting. Unlike her TV appearances, these hotel events allow fans to experience her specially curated menus firsthand, prepared by the hotel’s executive chefs under her meticulous supervision. The afternoon typically blends a live talk session—where she shares her unique “Shima-style” cooking tips and lifestyle advice—with a high-end French course meal that embodies her signature fusion of Japanese seasonal ingredients and classical French techniques.
