Vegetarian Food Experiences

This experience was truly a dream come true! 💕✨ From the very first moment, everything felt so warm, welcoming, and magical. She is not only an incredible teacher, but also the sweetest and most thoughtful host! You can really feel the love and passion she puts into every little detail. Her explanations were wonderful, and she made every step so easy to follow and enjoyable. I learned so much, and making Japanese fluffy pancakes was even more special than I had imagined! It was so much more than just a cooking class. It was a beautiful experience that I will cherish forever and one of my favorite memories from Japan Thank you so, so much for your kindness, patience, and for making this experience feel like a little dream. I enjoyed every single second and couldn't have wished for a more perfect experience! 🌸 I would recommend this class a thousand times over! 💕

I had a fantastic time with Sakura san, she's such a lovely person and great teacher. The mochi were delicious and it was nice to understand the cultural history behind the Japanese sweets. Chocolate the dog is a cutie pie ! Really great experience, cant wait to try again back home.Thank you Sakura san.

Great souvenir to take home, they are artists, kind and patient, we loved the experience.

A magical moment shared with Katsuji-san and his wife. He took the time—especially with the children—to explain the techniques for making sushi, and he even prepared a dish for us that he used to serve in his restaurants. I highly recommend this kind of experience. Thanks again!

Our cooking class with Midori was absolutely fantastic and a truly unique experience! She was so warm and welcoming and took care of all our wishes. We learned so much about Japanese cooking, had a wonderful time in her kitchen, and the food was delicious. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori! Arigato from both of us! ❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hands down, one of the BEST experiences I’ve had in Japan so far! Our hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and kind, making us feel right at home. We started with a beautiful traditional Japanese tea ceremony, followed by making all FOUR types of ramen ourselves! It was such a fun and memorable hands-on experience. They even surprised us with freshly prepared sushi! The sweetest part was the ending: our host personally wrote each of our names in Japanese on beautiful postcards for us to take home. Such a thoughtful keepsake! You can truly feel their passion for Japanese culture and genuine hospitality. I enjoyed every moment and wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Osaka. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful memory. Definitely a highlight of my Japan trip!

The Best Cultural Experience in Osaka!Taking Katsuji’s ramen class was such a special experience! He welcomed my friend Rachel and me into his home with so much warmth and immediately made us feel comfortable. He guided us through making shoyu, miso, tonkotsu, and curry ramen. Every variety was delicious, and getting to prepare and taste the different styles made the experience even more enjoyable. What made the class especially memorable was Katsuji himself. He shared little glimpses of his life and made us feel completely at home. Despite the language barrier, we connected so easily that it felt like spending time with a new friend. He also wrote each of us a beautiful personalized Japanese note with our names and a sweet message, which I’ll treasure. I left with a full stomach and wonderful memories. I would happily visit Katsuji again and take another cooking class next time I’m in the area!

It was such a wonderful evening! Really, really recommend doing a tour with Hiroshi. He is so welcoming and knowledgeable. The walk around Gion was so interesting! He opened my eyes to so many details. The food was lovely and he kept it gluten free on request, which I appreciate so much! I would not have known what to order without his help. Thank you Hiroshi, I hope to be able to join another of your tours in the future.

Our hosts Sakura san and Choco chan where fantastic. We got great insights not only on how to prepare the Mochi and Dango but also the heritage, meaning, and importance of them in Japanese culture. It was worth every second, fully recommended

We had a fantastic time at the ramen cooking class with Yoshi and Amo in Tokyo! Both hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The class felt authentic and was a great experience. We made the ramen noodles and delicious dumplings from scratch, while learning about the preparation of traditional ramen broth, which takes around 12 hours to cook. It was fun, informative, and a real highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!

Cannot say enough how lovely this entire experience was. Kazuki was the absolute best teacher and host. He made us feel so incredibly welcome, and I felt as if we became friends by the end of the experience! You learn so much about miso, the process to make it, and the various tastes of that exist! They also provide you with so many delicious treats. Truly wonderful, would absolutely love to do it again.

AMAZING experience! Highly recommend to anyone interested in wasabi (or a fun getaway from Tokyo). David is knowledgeable about a multitude of topics and his generosity was greatly appreciated. Both varieties of wasabi are insanely delicious (and he let us eat a lot of it!).
