"I learned a lot!"

If you want to try something new, this class is something you should consider. Kurina introduced us to macrobio-veganism. From what I've learned, I will just create my own tofu, instead of buying one from the market. Highly recommended.

"Absolutely brilliant. ..."

If you're after an experience in Tokyo without crowds and you love food then this is for you. Kurina is living the life most of us would like to. She provides a unique opportunity to see how the locals live in a more rural part of Japan yet accessable from Tokyo. Kurina is knowledgeable in her field and shares more than just how to cook tofu. Best of all you get to eat and talk with kurina and share stories. Thank you kurina!!☺

"Excellent History and life changing opportunity"

Karina teaches you her knowledge of living healthy along with lots of Japanese culture of food aspects in mind. It was an enjoyable time not only learning, making, and eating the various tofu dishes, but learning about the macrobiotic way of healthy living. Karina is very knowledgable and very accommodating to your intetests and will tailor the program to your liking if your group allows it due to its size.
