Matcha Recipe Localization Specialist (English --> Japanese)

We need a bilingual food enthusiast to translate and culturally adapt matcha dessert/drink recipes (e.g., matcha tiramisu, matcha latte) for Japanese home cooks. Must convert measurements, ingredients, and techniques to suit Japanese kitchens while preserving the recipe’s essence.

Key Tasks:
Translate recipe instructions between English/Japanese, adjusting:

Measurements (cups → grams/ml or 合)

Ingredients (e.g., "heavy cream" → 生クリーム, "vanilla extract" → バニラエッセンス)

Tools (e.g., "whisk" → 茶筅 for traditional matcha)

Adapt baking terms (e.g., "fold gently" → さっくり混ぜる)

Add cultural notes (e.g., substitutions for rare Western ingredients)

Ensure formatting consistency in recipe cards/slides

Requirements:
Native Japanese + professional English (or vice versa)

Experience with recipe translation/development (home cooking OK!)

Knowledge of Japanese/Western baking terms

Passion for matcha/tea culture

Nice-to-Have:
Culinary training or food blogging background

Familiarity with Japanese dietary trends (e.g., vegan alternatives)

Basic design skills (Canva/Adobe for recipe cards)
