Traditional Home cooking Experience in Osaka, Japan

About this tour

Learn to cook two authentic Osaka dishes alongside a local instructor in this hands-on two-hour class. You'll work with seasonal ingredients, including premium Koshihikari rice sourced directly from a Niigata farmer, then sit down to eat what you've made. Choose between Course A (sukiyaki, tempura, rolled omelet) or Course B (wagyu roast beef bowl, chicken nanban, sashimi) when booking. The emphasis is on having fun whilst cooking, not just following recipes.

What to expect

You'll arrive and meet your instructor, who guides you through preparing two dishes at a relaxed pace. Expect hands-on work—chopping, cooking, plating—with clear direction but room to enjoy the process. The class works with what's in season, so ingredients vary. Once cooking is done, you'll taste everything together, often discovering techniques you can replicate at home. The atmosphere is social rather than formal; this isn't about perfection, it's about learning whilst having a laugh.

Good to know

Water is complimentary; other beverages cost extra. Alcoholic drinks aren't served. The class runs about two hours total. Prams and strollers are fine if you're bringing infants. Several public transport options are within walking distance of the venue.
