This was an amazing experience, from booking to finish a complete session. The class was awesome, the ladies were fantastic and patient teachers. Our group of five (you wouldn’t want any more than 5) had a great time and learnt some new skills… Highly recommend this experience as you won’t be disappointed, also, don’t eat much before you go, you cook a very generous lunch!

An amazing cooking session

Amazing Experience!!

Samuel_C, Dec 2025

We booked this experience because we love Japanese food and wanted to learn how to make it ourselves, and it easily became the highlight of our trip! Hisako and Naoko were extremely kind and welcoming and offered us dozens of Japanese home cooking tips that we would have never found out by just following recipes online! We had so much fun cooking and constructing bento boxes and will absolutely use everything we learned in the future. If you are in Osaka and love food/cooking, we cannot recommend this experience enough!

Hisako and Naoka were...

Hisako and Naoka were very good teachers! They were knowledgeable, patient, and great at breaking down the cooking into very easy steps. They also print out the recipes and instructions for you to take home. They also provided us with great recommendations for other local attractions. I highly recommend taking a class with them!

Fun home based cooking class.

Such a personal class with the 2 lovely ladies. We found they spoke very good English and made cooking our dishes fun. They were full of tips and encouragement. Being able to take a copy of the recipes was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Great cooking class!

We had a great time with the cooking workshop. The hostesses were lovely and we were able to prepare a varied menu with different techniques to learn for each dish.

A wonderful Japanese experience

We had a great time with Naoko and Hisako! They are great teachers and we made very cute Bento boxes that turned out wonderfully. I really enjoyed the setting and the opportunity to chat and get a deeper understanding of Japanese culture.

Amazing and authentic cooking class!

We had an amazing time learning how to cook udon, onigiri and tempura. We also enjoyed the tea ceremony and our daughters put on real traditional kimonos. Our hostesses were so professional and caring. It was a dream come true !

Udon and Tempura

Kristina_L, Apr 2024

April 2024. I made tempura and Udon. We made everything from scratch. I have never fried anything before and it turned out really well! I think I can now make this at home. The ladies were very friendly and helpful. The class is in the SGS building.

Wonderful cooking experience in Osaka

Tracey_S, Apr 2024

We loved the welcoming atmosphere at this home with two lovely ladies guiding us through our cooking experience. The food was fresh and delicious and they demonstrated each part for us both to make everything ourselves then we had it for lunch
