Awesome couple, very friendly and chatty, they welcomed us into their home and showed us how to make a traditional bento with four elements. We cooked each element with them and they made it super easy to get involved. The food we made was lovely and it was a nice touch to sit down with them and eat it. We felt so welcomed into your home and would love to come by again when we next visit Japan.
