You can try to do an incense ceremony in Kyoto. http://www.shoyeido.co.jp/english/ http://www.yamadamatsu.co.jp/en/index.html I'm trying to figure out the cooking class level. Should we have =en the focus or make it so both of you can participate evenly? I think =hat if we make Jen the focus, we can have a fairly high level class =ith you as support. Otherwise, we can try to organize a more =E2Q4kstartern course for both of you. One question, are you =omfortable working with raw fish? - Mizuka ( & Joi) > 2016/09/07 2F149:34..
