This is a birthday gift for me. A big thanks to Hanna. She made it a great gift to me.
Always wanted to learn how to creat beautiful and delicious Japanese Bento Box. I am so pleased I made it myself, of course, with help from Hanna.
The class is very fun and tasty. Yes, we tasted lot of their homade sauces, pickled vegetables, and dishes.
We also love the bubble tea drinks they made for us. The best ever tasted in London.
