Perfect culinary activity while cruise was in port!
Such a fun and informative experience for those interested in Japanese cuisine! Chef Seiji San and Izumi San were so kind and welcoming. They gave clear instructions and let us learn hands-on but always helped when needed. They have a wonderful sense of humor. The perfect way to spend the afternoon while the cruise was docked in Kanazawa. Thank you so much!
