Top Osaka Prefecture Classes & Workshops

I can offer two Japanese unique experiences, molding soft sweet into seasonal flower and tea ceremony. The location is near JR Ibaraki station which is both close to the centers of Kyoto and Osaka about 13 - 20 min by JR rapid-transit train.

Sakura (cherry blossom) viewing is a popular Japanese pastime in spring. Experience your own hanami (blossom viewing picnic) on this fun small-group cycle tour. You’ll meet your guide at JR Ibaraki station and set out for the Expo ’70 Commemorative Park. En route, stop at a cooking studio to prepare your own bento lunch box for your picnic. At the park, sit under the cherry trees and enjoy your meal.

It’ll take 2.5 hours to take this hands-on takoyaki cooking from scratch. If you make takoyaki with my recipe, the outside will have crunchy texture while the inside is creamy, and it has UMAMI taste even without takoyaki sauce. But I love to eat takoyaki with sauce which is a general way to eat takoyaki too!! In this workshop two kinds of takoyaki will be prepared because I couldn’t choose only one. One is a bit sweet which is similar to original takoyaki sauce, and the other is made with soy sauce base. While we are grilling takoyaki balls, we will make miso soup (soup with miso and Japanese fundamental soup stock), Japanese cucumber salad and black sugar dessert. You might need some practice to make a perfect takoyaki, but don’t worry!! You can grasp the techniques of takoyaki making shortly with my tips with you. After cooking, let's have takoyakia, miso soup, cucumber salad and a Japanese-style sweets, and Osaka coke or mineral water.

Tonkatsu is one of Japanese daily dishes that most locals love. I provide plain and arranged Tonkatsu, you will be able to cook it by yourselves to your family, friends and so on. It’s fun cooking!!
