Japanese Stewed Meat course - Naoko and Hisako were so friendly and were kind enough to cater to my gluten-free diet. Definitely a great experience if you find yourself in Osaka. The two of them are great cooks and very informative!

Best cooking class and Kimono experience - This is the best experience we have had in Japan, these two beautiful ladies gave us such a personal experience in their home. The cooking experience was fabulous very hands on, we also got to eat everything. The kimono and photo shoot was such fun . The memories of these two ladies and the experience they gave us was 100%. They went above and beyond with everything. Highly recommend doing this.

Amazing experience! - Naoko and Hisako were really awesome hosts! We didn't realize it was a private experience until arriving, so that was a pleasant surprise. They quickly gave us a quick education about kimonos and similar garments. Then we discussed the cooking menu. They prepared a pot of rice. But we did the rest of the cooking! They walked us through the preparation of a delicious Osaka-style omelet, filled rice balls, miso soup, and marinated pork cutlet. All the food was delicious, and they sent us home with our recipe sheets. After the meal was over, they dressed us in our kimonos and did a very professional feeling photo shoot. It was a great experience. We would do it again to try learning new dishes. The hospitality of Naoko and Hisako was unmatched. My fiancé and I enjoy cooking, but I don't think you need any cooking experience to enjoy this.

Japanese Home Cooking Experience! - This was an amazing experience! Naoko and Hisako were very friendly and did a great job teaching! English was good and food was very tasty. Excited to try making these when I get back home to the States (we made omelette, beef stew, onigiri, and miso soup)
