Great fun! - Great fun! The instructors were helpful and friendly. Making food items into cute “kawaii” creatures such as snails and ladybirds was very entertaining despite the jet lag. My family and I had a wonderful time and we enjoyed learning about the origin of bento also.

A fun cute bento making - Having sir Kenji guide us in a calm, fun, and cheerful way made the whole experience so worthwhile. I didn’t knew that we would be able to make such a cute bento until sir Kenji taught us so.

Amazing class - Such a fun and creative class to experience the culture! The class was very easy yet creative! We had the choice to make a Bear, or a panda, or a dog and learn the history of bento boxes.
