Cooking Ramen & Gyoza - The host was very kind, we started the tour by going to some local shops learning about the culture and significance behind the food. Then we began our super informative and fun class learning how to make ramen and gyoza from scratch! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in this kind of tour.

Amazing Ramen and Gyoza Cooking Experience - We started in a cool shrine which Yuka gave us a cool story about, then we tried various traditional Japanese foods. We cooked/ prepared food in groups of 2 for about 1 hour and finished with a delightful meal

Homestyle curry, katsu, and local food shopping! - We had a great time cooking curry and katsu family style. We learned how to change the flavor profile using many different ingredients. Had no idea to add chocolate or coffee to curry before! We also got to checkout a temple and several local stores selling plums, sesame, and donuts stuffed with beans and among other things. Thank you for a great time in Osaka!
