This was a really fun cooking class. Shu-san gave us a very detailed and entertaining explanation of the ramen-making process and we each got to construct our own bowls of ramen. He was thoughtful and brought a lot of personality to the session.

The Izakaya tour was amazing. Keigoh-san carefully thought out the itinerary and created a very comfortable vibe with unique experiences. We got to eat great food and he gave us personalised suggestions for our drinks throughout the night. He also provided loads of recommendations for the rest of our stay in Osaka. Cannot recommend this enough!

Our girls, aged 12 and 14 had a fantastic time with Ayumi! They made gyoza and ramen and loved it. They say they can't wait to make it for us. They said Ayumi was a great teacher, patient and friendly. The food was delicious. Ayumi also thoughtfully emailed us the morning of the class given some heavy rain. Highly recommend.

If you're visiting this bustling city, indulging in its food experiences is a must. Known as "Japan's Kitchen," Osaka promises a gastronomic adventure that will satisfy even the most discerning palate. From bustling street markets to intimate cooking classes, the city has an array of food experiences waiting to be explored.

One of the standout features of Osaka's food culture is its street food. Stroll down the lively lanes of Dotonbori and you'll be greeted with enticing aromas and vibrant sights. Try takoyaki, a favorite Osakan snack, which are deliciously gooey octopus balls cooked to perfection. As you savor each bite, you'll appreciate the culinary flair that Osaka brings to its traditional dishes. Don't miss out on okonomiyaki, a savory pancake that's subtly crispy on the outside and teeming with a delightful mix of ingredients including cabbage, meat, and seafood.

Beyond street food, Osaka's food experiences also extend to its local markets like Kuromon Ichiba Market. Known for its freshest produce and seafood, this market is a paradise for foodies looking to taste high-quality seasonal ingredients. Wander through the market stalls, sample a variety of snacks, and engage with local vendors who are more than eager to share their passion for food.

Participants get to roll their own sushi, decipher the secrets of making perfect dashi (Japanese soup stock), and craft tempura that packs the perfect crunch. This interactive experience not only provides a tasting feast but also equips you with skills to recreate these dishes back home.

Moreover, many of these classes are held in traditional Japanese settings, providing a culturally immersive experience that enhances your understanding of the country’s culinary history. You'll leave not just with recipes and skills, but new friendships forged over shared meals and laughter.

Experience Exclusive Dining Tours

For those who prefer dining over cooking, joining a guided food tour in Osaka can uncover hidden gems and local favorites that might be off the beaten path. These tours typically include visits to izakayas (Japanese pubs), specialty restaurants, and traditional teahouses, all promising a fusion of flavors and culinary artistry. Under the guidance of local experts, you’ll be invited to indulge in a variety of tastings that showcase the essence of Osakan cuisine.
