Lovely cooking experience and hosts!

It was an amazing experience!! Mika and Kuni (I hope I got the names right!) were the perfect hosts and they taught us everything we needed to know with patience and enthusiasm!! The kitchen was very quiet and cozy, which was perfect for the more private experience we were looking for. Absolutely wonderful!!
