5.00Chef Nakata san was a joy to spend our evening with. I love to cook and my husband eats whatever I make, but I was happy to learn how to make some traditional Japanese dishes the correct way from a real chef. We had fun and we also had a delicious meal with really fresh sushi!! Yummy!!!

5.00This was hands down our favorite part of our Japan trip. We learned all about the culture and the translator they had setup made things funny and so useful for us to communicate with the language barrier. We had a blast! 10/10 recommend
