For example; -Onigiri: The golden ratio of salt & shaping technique. -Karaage: Secret ginger-soy fried chicken. -Gyoza: The art of folding juicy dumplings. -Dashi Omelet: Crafting fluffy, umami-filled layers. 3. Dining & Dialogue Enjoy your handmade feast while chatting about real life in the world’s busiest city. 4. All-Weather Bonus Sunny? We may enjoy a Bento Picnic in the park. Rainy?

    This was an awesome experience. Our only issue was finding the meeting spot because we did not know the name of the store/ did not know what the store looked like.
