A Beginning Into Japan’s Traditional Arts

 

Ayumi was born into a traditional performing arts family. Her Grandmother was a traditional Japanese dancer and her uncle was a performer of a traditional Japanese puppet show. Ayumi herself has also always been familiar with Japanese traditional arts through her Shamisen (three-string instrument) lessons and traditional Japanese dance lessons. However, one day when she had the opportunity to visit the backstage of a show, she realized how much knowledge she lacked about the Japanese traditional arts. From that experience, Ayumi decided to study at Kyoritsu Women’s University, where she majored in dramatics and committed four years to study traditional arts performing, film study, and theatrics.​

A Sudden Hearing Loss Led Her To Singapore

​

A sudden incident in 2013 led Ayumi to lose her hearing in the right ear. This blow made her realize she must follow her dreams in making a name for herself and lead a meaningful life. After quitting her office job in Japan, Ayumi arrived in Singapore in 2014 to support small, medium Japanese enterprises. Ayumi is currently in Tokyo to expand Japanese sake & otaku culture all over the world.

Singlish And Sake

 

Communication skills are one of the practical skills that a Sake Service Institute Official Lecturer must-have. Being naturally gifted in this area, Ayumi has mastered Singlish in a short span of two years living in Singapore and enjoys speaking Singlish to her customers, colleagues, and business partners. This has allowed her to feel closer to Singaporeans and make more meaningful connections.
