Maputosimon Says: We ate mainly at our host's home. The restaurants across Japan, like-for-like, are all of the same high standard, in my opinion. The trick is to learn the names of the different types of restaurant, and each type has a specific menu, character, and method of service. There...

FamousWorldTraveller Says: This is truly a hands-on (and teeth-on) experience. Under the guidance of a Japanese cook, you learn to prepare a traditional Japanese meal of such favorites as sushi, sukiyaki, tempura, and yakitori. Then you eat it. If you like to cook at all, it's a lot of fun. Who knows,...
