Eli was wonderful! She communicated several times ahead of time and then pivoted to what we had interest in once we were in person. She was very flexible and went above and beyond to meet our needs.

I love that Luis shared us insight of what Fukuoka-Hakata was before and after all the developments. I'm glad he shared us his background, what restaurants are around, and events that are held here. I loved his knowledge on cooking, knives for kitchens and cooks, and tea as well!
