Japanese Cooking Night & Mitsuwa Trip
- TBA
*** Since there seems to be a curiosity in how to make different Japanese dishes, we decided to hold a presentation on how to cook certain Japanese dishes! Of course, this would be more of a watching & tasting session instead of each member cooking but we aim to at least let a few try some steps on the stove for experience. Just imagine a Martha Stewart cooking show, LIVE. :D Location and date still pending. Could be done on the same day as the Mitsuwa Trip. Status: DONE
