Reservation mix up, but book with confidence. Tasty mochi. - There was a little bit of a mix-up in reservations but in retrospect, it wasn't the company's complete fault. They were very honest and gracious in making sure that everything was made more than right. If we come back to Osaka, we would make another reservation with them just because of their company's ethics. Mochi was also very delicious

I had the best experience... - I had the best experience ever! Definitely worth it. Learned the history of Mochi and physically making it instead of only watching someone is the best part! You eat it right after with several toppings/options, it’s fresh and clean ingredients, beyond delicious foreigner/English friendly! Thank youuuu so kind!!!

Mochi pounding in Osaka - Before this experience, we loved mochi but knew nothing of its origins or preparation. Now, we love it more and have a better appreciation for it. Great experience to learn, make, and eat FRESH mochi! Worth doing.

Amazing Experience - I was visiting my old friend who live in Osaka this Feb, and her husband invited my family and I to experience Japanese traditional mochi pounding. It's a very good experience though, becasue I can learn more about Japanese culture from it. Also, my kids love mochi, so it's a good chance for them to know how to make what they like to eat. Mochi is chewing and tasting, we all enjoy it. We will be definitely back to visit if we go to Osaka again next time. Tks for hospitality!

Osaka Japanese Paralytic - This time to Osaka experience Japanese paralysis, really special! In addition to a variety of different sausages (yellow bean powder, red bean, and seaweed sauce oil), there are also hemp activities that are suitable for family and children to have fun together plus a food banquet, while eating hemp, you can also enjoy the river view of the heart of hempbridge, so that people can go back and forth, and I sincerely recommend this Osaka Japanese hemp!

The only mochi making you can have in Osaka city - I did try to find the experience in Japan, but most of the live mochi making held in summer time when they have so called “Omatsuli”, this is the only one I encounter in Osaka city! And luckily the host can introduce with the story and culture of Japanese mochi in English to us! Unforgettable!

★★★★★ A Fun and Unique Mochitsuki Experience for the Whole Family! - I joined this traditional Japanese mochitsuki (rice cake pounding) experience with my 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter, and we all had an amazing time! The staff was very kind and guided us through the process, making it easy even for young children to try pounding the rice with the wooden mallet. The freshly made mochi was soft and delicious! We got to try classic flavors like kinako (roasted soybean flour), anko (sweet red bean paste), mitarashi soy sauce, and roasted seaweed. But what surprised us was the unique and creative flavors—cocoa and fresh cream! My 2-year-old daughter especially loved the mochi with fresh cream, while my son was a big fan of the cocoa mochi. It was a wonderful experience that combined Japanese tradition with new flavors, making it both educational and fun. We had a fantastic time as a family, and I highly recommend this experience to anyone, especially those with young children. We’d love to come back again!
