Rina was great!

Rina was very informative and made this class interesting and fun. Our family takes a cooking class everywhere we travel to and this one was by far our favorite.

Wonderful experience

The teacher's explanations are patient and detailed, and they are also very nice. I really love the teacher's smile; it even feels like it cured my stomachache (just kidding). Our family of four cherishes this experience and connection, and it is a great window into Japanese culture.

Had a great time learning to make ramen and gyoza. I will definitely be working on my technique, but was very happy with the finished products. The ladies onsite were so helpful and patient. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in understanding how both ramen and gyoza are made, and what differences make them uniquely Japan.

Tea Ceremony Experience in Osaka Doutonbori

Lori_D, Aug 2026

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.

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.
