Yosh Han - YOSH

Yosh Han is the founder YOSH olfactory sense. She is a nose, super taster, level 1 Sommelier and former tasting judge for the International Chocolate Salon in San Francisco. While she loves to teach and speak about these subjects, she enjoys creative collaborations with other artists in these fields. She is currently a Creative in Residence at The Battery in San Francisco. As an entrepreneur with over 15 years experience in the Flavor and Fragrance industry, Yosh serves on the Advisory Board for other beauty and beverage brands. In 2019, Yosh launched the Eau Fraiche collection, remastered classics from YOSH Luxury Elements eau de parfum. Perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux from Givaudan and Olivia Jan from Drom were brought in to modernize the fragrances originally created by YOSH.

Yosh also holds Reiki 1&2 distinctions and is an intuitive clairvoyant who has read thousands of people from around the world and onstage with translators. She completed the Clairvoyant Training program through Aesclepion Healing Institute in 2009. Refinery29 voted her “Best Aura Reader” in 2012.

In her free time, Yosh is a professional PADI MSDT open water scuba instructor, blue water sailor, and wild swimmer. Believing the ocean is one of her communication channels to the Supreme Being, she's swum the "Golden Gate Bridge swim" and the swim from Alcatraz to Aquatic Park’s South End Rowing Club (twice!) - each swim being 1.5 miles in 60F. Yosh is currently sailing in Polynesia from Tahiti to Fiji on a 52’ sailboat and stopping in the Cook Islands, Tonga and Nieu. Earlier this year, she spent 2 weeks sailing in the Sea of Cortez in Baja Mexico exploring Espíritu Santo and the surrounding islands. While in California, she sails in San Francisco Bay, Marina del Rey and Long Beach. In 2017 she crossed the equator by catamaran from Papua New Guinea to Palau on the Cabrinha Quest; as is customary for all sailors doing equator crossing, Yosh made an offering to Neptune, god of the sea, and committed herself to being an Ambassador of the Ocean.

While swimming, sailing and diving in various bodies of water around the globe, she has encountered grey whales, giant oceanic manta rays, reef tip sharks, parrot fish, turtles, scorpion, puffer and frogfish as well as rare pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs. She has a penchant for diving among historical WWII wrecks. While is currently workings towards her Master Captain license, her big dream is to circumnavigate the world by boat.
