Maiko

Teaches at Leisurely

Maiko, the daughter of Japanese immigrants, has always wanted to bring the home-style feel of Japanese cuisine, cooking, and culture to NYC. Her background in both art and hospitality has served her well in breaking free of the constraints to meld her mother’s home cooking with the flavours and style of her NYC upbringing. The result is her restaurant, Bessou, literally translating to “home away from home.”
