My family and I really enjoyed our time with Chef Suda and also the local guide who translated and talked with us during this class. The fish was all local right from Tsuruoka City and we got to try some of the chefs personally crafted blades that cost up to 3000 dollars each. The sushi we made was really delicious and the quality of the rice and the really fresh sashimi made for some of the best sushi we have ever had.

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
