  • If you wish to order both gluten-free and regular meals in one group
    Due to the size of the kitchen, it is not possible to use two types of seasonings. For example, if there are five different dishes, I would need five pans. Even if only one person eats gluten-free, I would need one regular pan and one gluten-free pan for each dish, which means I need double the amount of pans and effort. Therefore, I kindly ask you to choose for all guests to eat gluten-free. I use gluten-free soy sauce and miso, which have the same taste as the regular versions. So the taste of the dishes will be the same, whether they are gluten-free or not. However if you insist on having both gluten-free and regular dishes sametime, the effort required will be doubled, hence the charge will also be doubled.

    - Workshops on location require pre-paid due to the purchase of materials/ingredients because of 2 or 3 negative experiences in the past about problem customers. Following are examples of when I didn't ask for prepaid.
    -- One Organization asked me to give a workshop. They suddenly cancelled the workshop on the scheduled date when I was on the way to their place.
    -- One organisation asked me to give a bento workshop for 30 people. The person in charge was irresponsible and they didn't pay the fee almost for 9 months.
