Very knowledgeable and kind guides. The kitchen was easy to find from the station. The food was amazing and allowed for me to understand the basics in a Japanese kitchen setting. I’ve made the salmon from the recipes almost every night since I’ve been home. Japanese food is easy to make and healthy! I’m very excited this type of activity was available!
