Sensei Andy,     You are a great teacher! Your knowledge for Japanese cuisines and history are incomparable! You taught us the 80% and snuck in some of your 20% secrets. My favorite lesson was when you explained Japanese culture with the suimono, the way you tied the cilantro together with the shrimp. Another lesson you taught us why we used 5 colors (red, black, white, green, and yellow).
Why we used white soy and certain products. Everything has meaning.    I will benefit the class by creating healthy dishes for my family, friends, and customers by incorporating the 3s’ seasonal, simple, and sublime.  Arigato-gazamasu Sensei.
