We were welcomed into a beautiful home by a wonderful couple. She explained bento and onigiri before diving into the how-to. The process was surprisingly simple but something you can't learn on your own. We also fell in love with the square pan used for rolled eggs. After cooking, she showed us how to make onigiri and assemble the bento box, giving us lots of ingredient options based on our preferences. Afterwards, we ate what we made, along with traditional sweets and tea. A bonus was a pot of pour over coffee in the backyard in the shade. Can't say enough how wonderful of an experience it was, as English speakers we got along just fine. We left full and she even wrapped up what we couldn't eat! Favorite day spent in Japan.
