About the Vendor

Maria Cecilia Latif juggles a couple of roles. Besides working as a Financial Advisor, she has a soft spot for Japanese cuisine, thanks to her dad's job on a Japanese Cruise Ship. She fell in love with the simple and elegant way food is served in Japan, called “Shokudo”. That inspired her to bring that style to the Philippines.

In 2019, Maria opened Ukemochi Food House in Imus, Cavite, hoping people would enjoy its fancy Japanese food.

Since then, Ukemochi Food House has been part of big events and has lots of different customers, from office workers to locals. They also get plenty of orders from Facebook for meals and snacks for meetings and gatherings.
