After graduating, she studied Kyoto Yuzen and Roketsu (wax) textile dyeing, took up painting as a street artist, made and sold accessories, and tried out all kinds of creative activities. One day, she became hooked on the magic of curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy appetite for creation and my love of spices\u2014all that was me amalgamated and took shape in the form of curry. I had always wanted to come back to Kochi eventually. Making a place where I could both continue creating and make curry seemed like a neat idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large last\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_511_NK-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_511_NK-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_511_NK-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_511_NK-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_511_NK.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The unique interior is chaotic at first sight and yet curiously comfortable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The striking building belonged to Kazuko\u2019s grandfather. As a child, Kazuko avoided the place; she used to call it a haunted house. When she took a fresh look at it as an adult, however, the rusty texture appealed to her. She renovated the building and filled it with things she loves. Quite a few people become fans of not only the delectable curry but also the creative, unique space itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo me, curry is solely a means of expression. I don\u2019t see myself as a curry chef. At the end of the day, I love people. I have the desire to make people happy and to keep on creating. Curry is the medium of my wonderful job that satisfies both desires. I\u2019m also enjoying the process of broadening my personal connections and establishing this place as a base for creation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">Curry is an art, and Sabi-to-Susu proves it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_184_NK-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_184_NK-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_184_NK-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_184_NK-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_184_NK.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The menu lists three curries: Vegetarian, Non-vegetarian, and Special.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/0312_326_NK.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kazuko Yamada<\/strong><br>Kazuko Yamada is the proprietor of fusion diner Sabi-to-Susu (\u201crust and soot\u201d).
