Jess Mantell was a graduate student in media design and Fumi Tsukamoto, a native of Japan, was working as a management consultant when they met in Tokyo. Having bonded over the cuisine of the city, where a lunch can range from $3 to $300 and restaurant hopping is a typical Friday night activity, they decided to combine their talents and passion after moving to Toronto.
Knowing that Toronto has 32 farmers’ markets, versus four in Tokyo and 28 in Manhattan (where Fumi has also lived), Fumi thought that the maturity of Toronto's food market would allow them to do really innovative things. Inspired by their time in Tokyo, Jess and Fumi started making onigiri ― Japanese rice balls ― and selling them at Toronto markets in 2013, operating under the name Abokichi.
