Chiho had gone through a serious illness and, to take better care of her health, she started making Japanese fermented food made from local Australian ingredients.

Her passion and expertise were spotted by a local brewer and Chiho was offered a job to develop a new Japanese sake there.  At that time , she had no experience in making sake.  Now she has a beer label with her name and her new Japanese sake has become available in the market.   Chiho created her original Kombucha as well.
