Experience Details
Step inside Chef Katsuji's home in Osaka and discover the art of sushi making through a hands-on cooking experience paired with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
Your journey begins in a quiet residential neighborhood, where local markets, family-run shops, and everyday life offer a glimpse into authentic Osaka. As you make your way to the venue, you'll experience the charm of the local community before Chef Katsuji and his wife warmly welcome you into their home, where modern comforts blend with traditional Japanese design.
The experience begins in a peaceful tea room with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. As you prepare and enjoy matcha alongside traditional wagashi, you'll discover the beauty and mindfulness at the heart of this centuries-old practice.
After the tea ceremony, head into the kitchen for a hands-on sushi-making class. Guided by Chef Katsuji, you'll learn how to prepare perfectly seasoned sushi rice, work with fresh ingredients, and create a variety of sushi, including nigiri and temari sushi. Along the way, you'll discover the techniques and attention to detail that make sushi one of Japan's most iconic dishes.
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 your sushi is complete, sit down to enjoy the meal you've created in the relaxed atmosphere of Katsuji's home while chatting about Japanese cuisine and everyday life in Osaka.
With 38 years of experience running izakayas, sushi restaurants, and ramen shops, Chef Katsuji now shares his lifelong passion for Japanese cooking through intimate home classes alongside his daughter, Chiharu.
