• Wonderful Experience!

This was one of the highlights to my last trip to Japan in November 2011. Taro was very friendly, helpful and his lesson was one of the most useful things I did in Japan. As a strict vegetarian that doesn't eat egg, I chose the vegan class and shared the class with a vegetarian couple. When abroad, I always eat in vegan restaurants, knowing that everything is 'safe' to eat, so I order lunch and dinner setsand sometimes have no idea what I'm eating! In this class we made things that I had eaten in Japan and not recognised. I came away confident and a lot more curious about the things I was eating. Being in a Japanese home was also a joy, and to meet Taro's family and share time with them. It was very easy to find and I now have a cooking teacher for life in Taro! One recommendation - eat before you go, as everything is so yummy whilst preparing and you'll be starving by the time you eat! Next time I want to do the tour of Nishiki Market and learn how to shop vegan in Japanese markets.
