Bringing creators and fans to the same table — one recipe at a time 💛

About Oshi Flavors

We believe food is the purest form of connection.
In every kitchen, every culture, every creator’s story, flavor carries emotion — comfort, memory, love.Oshi Flavors was born from that truth. It’s a celebration of the bond between creators and their communities — not through streams, but through the shared language of taste.Here, every recipe tells a story. A favorite meal becomes a message; a dish becomes an invitation. Through these pages, VTubers and fans meet as people — not pixels. We cook, we laugh, we remember where we came from and dream about where we’re going next.Because when we cook for someone, we’re saying: I want you to feel what I feel.Oshi Flavors is where content meets comfort, and creativity meets cuisine.We eat to sustain. We share to nurture. We create to connect.This is flavor made human.

Thank you to the artists and vendors for helping bring this project together with your skills and abilities.

Thank you to the creators and their stories for making this project into a reality. It was truly an honor and pleasure learning about how food resonates with you.

A word from the mastermind behind Oshi Flavors...

Thank you to everyone who responded to my rather strange request in Twitter DMs and email! This is a project that I've had in the back of my mind for a long time. In fact, as a young girl, I've always wanted to write a cookbook of my own with some of my family's recipes. However, many life events and other unexpected circumstances prevented me from putting more thought and effort into making this dream a reality.My main inspiration for this project is my late maternal grandmother. Unfortunately, she passed away back in late 2024 due to complications as a result of Parkinson's Disease. The initial grief surrounding her passing was immeasurable. Holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas were her favorite, not because she would buy out A.C. Moore and Michael's of their decorations, but because she was the one that would lead the preparation of a feast and the gathering of relatives from various sides of my family. Last year was the first year of these holidays without her. It was strange for me to not travel out an hour and a half by train to see her and help her with the cooking and cleaning. It was strange not to do the 5:30AM coffee and early morning news ritual in the living room as the sun gradually crept out from the clouds. It was strange to not hear from her.However, I did not let that stop me from doing what she would do around the holidays: wake up early and have her coffee, then cook her heart out to bring relatives from both sides of my family together. As a means to process my grief, I put on noise canceling headphones and did all of the cooking by myself. During both holidays, family and friends gathered and praised my feast, saying they could taste the love and effort put into every main and side dish. I told them that my grandmother's spirit was with me as I made everything. It truly felt like she was there.Her food and her energy connected the family during the holidays. And that's exactly what I want to do, as her legacy.VTubers, VAs, VArtists....we make content that we share with an audience. We create and entertain as a means of getting close to our fanbases. And as a result, people within the fanbases begin to connect because of the content we put out. Keeping this in mind as well as being the foodie I am, I thought that a cookbook project with many VTubers would be an amazing way to further connect with our communities.Ladies, gents, and other entities...my name is Namiya Pofumi and welcome to the world of Oshi Flavors.

With Love,
Namiya "Nami" Pofumi 🫧🦋
Founding Creator/CEO of Oshi Flavors

🩷 Meet Melti, Director of Operations & Partnerships!

Hirii~Thank you again to everyone who responded to the call sent out! I was once like you- an unwitting recipient of Nami's passion for not only vtubing and food but for this project and dream. Since that fateful day, it's been a lot of work behind the scenes to make this dream of Nami's into a reality, and I'm so eternally grateful that you all are willing to come along for the ride!My food story is probably similar to many of yours- a love of food, learning to cook with your heart, and posting food pictures on the internet- but what those pictures never showed was the true recipes behind the food, the ingredients and stories and culture being treasured and uplifted in every dish we make.Even in little ways- Oshi Flavors is the crystallization of the wish to hold onto those feelings.We thank you for starting on this journey with us, and we hope to continue this alongside you!More information about your contributions to this cookbook as well as general logistics will be in the next newsletter coming soon.With Love,
Melti 🩹🩷
Director of Operations & Partnerships
