Books
— on tea, on food, on attention.
Three books published over seven years. From a first essay on personalised nutrition with Hachette in 2019, to two recent works on Japanese matcha culture written from Fukuoka. Slow, documented, intentional.
01 · Most recent · April 2026
Matcha is everywhere. Almost no one knows what it really is. Not an ordinary green tea: a leaf cultivated for weeks in shade, dried without rolling, ground between two stone mills at thirty turns per minute. Two minutes are needed to produce one gram. Demand exceeds production. Orders are turned down.
Across 280 pages and twelve chapters, this book examines history, terroir, grades, tasting, ceremonial objects, preparation, science, and the global market. Each of the 101 questions follows the same architecture: the myth as it circulates, the documented truth, the factual explanation, a synthesis. Drawing on primary Japanese sources — MAFF, NARO, ISO/TR 21380:2022, randomised clinical trials, export sheets from real Japanese producers.
02 · MAJO Tasting Journal · December 2025
More than a simple tasting journal, MAJO is a sensory awakening tool that honours the Japanese tea ceremony while adapting to modern practice. The journal accompanies your exploration of matcha — from curious beginner to discerning connoisseur — by transforming each tasting into a real sensory experience.
Inside: 30 detailed tasting sheets to document terroir, cultivar, grade, preparation parameters, aromas, texture and personal impressions. A complete glossary of Japanese matcha terms. Step-by-step preparation guide for usucha and koicha. A manifesto in seven principles drawn from bushidō and Japanese tea philosophy. Designed and printed for those who want to slow down and attend.
03 · Earlier work · 2019
First book.
Before settling in Fukuoka and turning to Japanese tea culture, my first book was published with Hachette in France. It is part of the path that led to where I write from today.
Chacun son régime !
An accessible guide to personalised nutrition. Across 272 pages, the book offers a method for building eating habits adapted to one's own metabolism and psychology, drawing on a survey of contemporary diets — paleo, low GI, fasting, ketogenic, Mediterranean, Okinawa, hypotoxic — and refusing the one-size-fits-all promise.
