Full Flavoured Fun! - Absolutely one of the best experiences we have had on our trip to Japan. Our nine year old son enjoyed being able to make his own Katsu Curry. Something he was yet to try in Japan and now he’s keen to try to recreate this full flavoured dish at home. Thanks Osaka Cooking Base. We can’t wait to return to give another class a try!!!!

Fantastic Family Cooking Experience! - We had a wonderful time as a family participating in the cooking class where we made katsu curry. The instructor was incredibly kind to our children, making the experience enjoyable for all of us. We had many conversations that deepened our understanding of Japan and its culture. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills while communicating with locals during our travels. Highly recommended!

Fun cooking Katsu in Osaka!!! - Wife and I had a great time at the cooking lesson. The instructors were welcoming and took time with us to ensure we had an enjoyable experience. On top of that the Katsu was excellent and felt it was something we can reproduce at home.

Local Food Hands-on Experience - We recommend this cooking opportunity to families and adults alike. Two wonderful ladies who speak very good English, helped us make two local dishes that we can replicate at home. Why eat something at a restaurant and not know how to make it? In addition we had very good conversations and getting a bit of local experience, The food we made was delicious. Plan your class around visiting the local area and market.

Fun and interesting experience on making takoyaki - My kid and I chose Takoyaki class. At first, it was hard to make perfect round shape while trying to roll the fillings. The teacher was patient and always tried to encourage us. Finally we made it and we all felt a sense of achievement. Takoyaki was yummy, especially the ones we made by ourselves. We really enjoyed the experience on this class.

Great experience cooking Osaka 'street food' - We took the bento class. It was great to see and experience stuff I have seen in convenience stores made from scratch. I loved learning to hand shape the onigiri and learning how to make those cool bento multi layer omelettes in the special rectangular pan (I need to buy one!). The teacher made it so easy to follow the recipe and adapt to my own taste with ideas of fillings for onigiri too. Delicious but so simple!
