Let’s make a typical family meal together from our home just outside of the city! First, we will meet and have tea and get to know each other before we begin to make our dishes.
We will all cut the vegetables, make the sauces, and start to create the magic together. Finally, we will sit at the table, put some music on, and enjoy a meal together. We want to know how your trip is going and we can tell you what it is like to raise a family in Japan. After we have finished eating, we will enjoy a little dessert and hang out for a bit. Then, we will see you off!
We open our home and hearts to you, in a setting where kids, pets, and adults can listen to music, relax, drink & eat together. Contact me for more details on times, directions, additions, etc. If you have a large group, contact me directly for more information and negotiation. Step into our kitchen and become a part of our family for the day.
