>>> I'm trying to figure out the cooking class level. Should we h=ve  the focus or make it so both of you can participate evenly? I think t=at if we make  the focus, we can have a fairly high level class with you=as support. Otherwise, we can try to organize a more "starter"=B!I course for both of you. One question, are you comfortable working w=th raw fish?

Neither of us has learned about Japanese cooking, so we would probably need to start with the basics, although  is a chef, but she has experience only with european/american cuisine. But we do love Japanese food a lot! at least the American version of it.

Other then food, we probably will do lot's of sightseeing, since thi= is going to be our first time in Japan. I would love to get to know more a=out traditional Japanese architecture and design. We would also like to se= sumo and kabuki performance, as well as kodo and tea ceremony. So if you m=y have suggestions on any of the above, it would be amazing. Otherwise, we a=e open to any other recommendations you might have and very much looking fo=ward to this trip!
