We're happy to share a blog article on our cooking class experience in "Bay Area Menu Files" by Amy.
http://bayareamf.blogspot.com/2017/05/umami-works-revenge-of-bento-box-review.html

In her blog, lots of local restaurants are introduced. Maybe you'll find a good neighborhood restaurant that you haven't discovered yet.

After reading the article, if you feel like giving it a try, we'll have our first sweets making class in two weeks. We're looking forward to seeing you!!
