Most cooking classes take place in a studio. This one takes place behind the counter of a real Kansai bar, with the woman who runs it. The “mama” spends her evenings serving regulars and opens her kitchen to guests by day, so you cook the way she cooks at home: simple, seasonal, and full of family recipes. What makes it special A real local bar, not a classroom. Step behind the counter of a bar that visitors rarely see during the day. Taught by the mama herself. Learn home-style washoku directly from a warm, no-nonsense local host, with your guide on hand to translate and share the stories behind each dish. Private and personal. The session is for your group only (2 to 5 guests), so you can ask questions and cook at your own pace. Cook, then eat. Sit down together to enjoy the lunch you made, then take the recipes home.
