Experience Details
Unlock the secrets of Japanese cooking with this hands-on experience in Osaka, guided by seasoned local chef Katsuji.
Your journey begins in a quiet residential neighborhood, where local markets, family-run shops, and everyday life offer a glimpse into the authentic rhythm of Osaka. The walk to Katsuji's home is part of the experience, giving you the chance to see a side of Japan beyond the usual tourist routes.
Chef Katsuji and his wife warmly welcome you into their home, where modern comforts blend with traditional Japanese design. Start the day by slowing down in a peaceful tea room as you take part in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere before cooking begins.
After the tea ceremony, Katsuji introduces the recipes and shares the stories behind the dishes you will prepare. Then head into the kitchen for a hands-on sushi and kushikatsu cooking class. Learn how to season sushi rice, work with fresh ingredients, and shape different styles of sushi, then prepare Osaka's beloved kushikatsu by skewering your chosen ingredients and frying them to a crisp, golden finish.
Guests with dietary restrictions are welcome. Chef Katsuji is happy to accommodate different dietary needs whenever possible, including vegetarian and vegan sushi made with beautifully prepared seasonal ingredients and traditional Japanese seasonings.
Once cooking is complete, sit down and enjoy the sushi and kushikatsu you created together in the relaxed atmosphere of Katsuji's home.
With 38 years of experience running izakayas, sushi restaurants, and ramen shops, Chef Katsuji now shares his passion for Japanese cuisine through intimate classes alongside his daughter, Chiharu.
Before you leave, receive a custom piece of calligraphy created by Chef Katsuji as a meaningful keepsake of your day filled with cooking, culture, and warm hospitality.
