Excellent evening - fun, informative and delicious

We booked a private lesson for eight, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Akemi (instructor) was welcoming, patient and a great teacher. Lots of really interesting background/context to Japanese cuisine; easy to follow guidance, techniques and tips; great ingredients and food; and, excellent follow-up materials on recipes, where to shop, etc. Highly recommended and we will be back for other courses.
