We made tasty Udon and Tempura

The_O, Oct 2023
We had a most lovely time with Kanae, she is a great chef and a great host. She taught us how to make udon from scratch and how to make tasty crunchy tempura. We then sat down and at it all!

Wonderful meal

Kanae is such a sweet and wonderful host and great cook. She’s nice to talk to as well. I’m so glad to have signed up for this class. It feels more like meeting up with an old friend. Thankful for this session which wraps up the end of my trip nicely. ❤️
