Best Sushi Making Experience
We had an amazing time at the sushi-making class with Ayu and Futa! My friends and I had so much fun learning how to make sushi, and Ayu and Futa made the entire experience feel relaxed, welcoming, and personal. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, explaining each step clearly while sharing interesting details about Japanese food and culture. Even though none of us were expert sushi chefs, the sushi we made was delicious! There were plenty of laughs throughout the class, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Japan!

Such a fun cooking class. You learn to make the ramen noodles and gyoza dough from scratch. He gives you simple instructions and makes it incredibly easy to do. The ramen and gyoza ended up tasting amazing. Highly recommend this cooking class! Great instructor.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the sushi masterclass! Our group of 9 people thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of the experience. The instructor was engaging, and the step-by-step guidance made making sushi feel simple and incredibly fun. Everything from the fresh ingredients to the lively atmosphere was perfect, and all of us walked away with great new culinary skills and full stomachs. It was highly organized and accommodated our entire group beautifully, making it an unforgettable experience that we will definitely recommend to all our friends!

A treasure
I considered doing the tea ceremony at a ‘big name hotel’ but it was booked and boy am I glad it was! I believe that fate allowed me to join this great group of diverse people for a very intimate and educational experience. My husband had zero interest in tea ceremonies so I went alone. I felt very safe and comfortable. I tend to get lost easily so my husband and I scouted out the location the night before. It is probably easy to find for normal people but as I said I get lost easily so I was glad we did the dry run. Our instructor was so gracious and did everything possible to ensure everyone was comfortable. I learned a lot and feel like I learned more in this smaller setting than I would have at the brand hotel ceremony. Our instructor talked a lot about the day to day life of people in her neighborhood and how the tea ceremony education starts very early. She also talked about how it is ever evolving. Her knowledge was vast and fascinating. The tea was delicious as were the treats. And there was opportunity to purchase some items to take with you. I loved this experience and would highly recommend it.

Informative, fun, and delicious! All of the staff members were a joy to be around and made us feel welcome. The history of mochi was short and to the point and the pounding was more fun than expected. I was worried we’d do a bad job and our mochi wouldn’t be good, but that worry didn’t happen. It was so tasty! Dipping the mochi in the flavors was a treat! We had a fabulous time and loved every moment of the experience.
The location may be a bit hard to find- it’s on a lower sidewalk over looking a river (very scenic).

Great start of our holiday
We got a lovely introduction in the Osaka food culture and tried some dishes we would not have found otherwise. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. After the food market she also showed parts of the surrounding area, so we got a few pointers for further exploration of Osaka.

Awesome way to see the city
Joel was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and great with my 11 year old son’s questions. We saw so much and we were able to start our trip with key knowledge. He had great restaurants to recommend as well. A highlight of our trip was when an elderly Japanese women came over to say hello to us, she was curious about our family, and we had a lovely conversation.

Unmissable peek into tea ceremony culture
Our teacher, Sayaka, was so lovely! This was such a meaningful and exciting class for someone who has been a fan of matcha for many years now (I’m a massive tea head!) I really enjoyed the mini ceremony and the sweets, and Sayaka was so engaging and bubbly, thank you so much!
I also went on my own because my partner doesn’t like tea, and the group setting was very warm and easy to get along with! Highly recommend for everyone!

Memorable Moments in Osaka ✨️❤️
Such a Great experience, Keiko, her assistant and mother where a pleasure to learn from. They spoke great English so understanding eachother was a plus! Keiko reached out to us prior and asked about food restrictions or dietary restrictions. She was able to accommodate my vegan diet which I was super happy because one of the main ingredients in Okonomiyaki is eggs. The replacement was a particular Japanese potato that worked great as a binder. Her mother gifted us with a little handmade purse made out of kimonos. A very heartfelt moment learning about how food brings people together. We both enjoyed this class and will be practicing what we learned at home. Okonomiyaki is very tasty and versatile. It can be made exactly to your personal liking! I highly recommend giving this class a try!

10/10 experience!
This was the best cooking class I’ve ever taken! It was very well organized and interactive, with every little detail thought through. Our chef Keigo was wonderful and a big part of what made the experience great - he taught us about why certain ingredients are used or why certain steps in cooking are done, and I learned multiple tips I’ll take home with me. He is a fantastic and enthusiastic teacher, photographer and chef all in one! Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Osaka!

I absolutely recommend this activity! This was an expertly run cooking class. We were a family of 4 (3 adults and 1 teen). This is a highlight of our Japan trip. The guide was warm, inviting and so helpful. We were given the recipes so we are now inspired to make the meal when we get home. Loved it!

Go karting with Yuma was the best experience!
Yuma was an incredible tour guide for our go kart experience! He was super kind, patient and helpful. He constantly checked in with us while we were at the red lights to make sure everyone in the group was okay. He took some really great pictures of our group as well as some really awesome videos in our go karts. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who is interested!
