The Story of hungry ninja
From Our Roots to Your Table, the story behind our ninja-inspired Japanese flavors
Hungry Ninja was founded by long-time Newton resident Yoko Bryden and her dear friend Shinobu Swindell, who met 20 years ago at a mom’s group. Their shared love for cooking healthy, delicious, and Japanese-inspired meals led to the creation of Hungry Ninja, where they combined their passions to bring fresh, nutritious food to the community.
While brainstorming, Yoko and Shinobu focused on three main elements: healthy, delicious, and Japanese-inspired. Both of them hailed from regions rich in ninja heritage, which inspired their use of ninja principles—such as a mostly vegan diet for stealth and health—in their culinary creations.
After starting Hungry Ninja together, Yoko has continued the vision of crafting meals that are inspired by ancient ninja wisdom, creating flavorful, plant-based dishes that nourish both the body and mind.
Welcome to Hungry Ninja, where the spirit of ninja wisdom meets healthy, vibrant food!
