  I really enjoyed Takara's restaurant - this was my first experience and I was so touched by everyone's focus to make sure I enjoyed myself and was able to taste the many different items! I miss some of last years class members but was very glad to meet our new members and hope they join us next year! (Submitted by Jackie)
