Neither of us has le=rned about Japanese cooking, so we would probably need to start with the ba=ics, although Jen is a chef, but she has experience only with european/amer=can cuisine.

I would love to get to know more ab=ut traditional Japanese architecture and design. We would also like to see=sumo and kabuki performance, as well as kodo and tea ceremony. So if you ma= 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!
