What is KINTOMI?
KINTOMI was founded to transform the culture of kitchens, empower underrepresented culinary voices, and redefine society’s relationship with food. Our name draws inspiration from “kintsugi,” the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, symbolizing resilience and the beauty of imperfection.
We strive to:
Empower Black and Brown chefs and kitchen storytellers with growth opportunities.
Create inclusive, low-stress kitchen environments that prioritize respect and teamwork.
Redefine food justice and accessibility by feeding homeless and low-income families.
Build a sustainable future through farming, urban gardening, and food education.
Through intimate dining experiences, impactful cooking programs, and a commitment to community care, KINTOMI bridges the gap between artistry and advocacy, one plate at a time.
