Fantastic Chicken Katsu Curry Lesson - Very friendly + accommodating - allowed us to swap from pork to chicken last minute to allow for dietary restrictions. Personal lesson, just the small group that booked. We cooked a great lunch with excellent teaching. Nice tour at the beginning as well as had great suggestions for other things to do while in Japan.

Add value to a tasty experience - I can't recommend this enough! We booked it randomly a few months before our trip and had no idea how lucky we were to manage to book a class with Yuka san! We took the Okonomiyaki class, which was perfect and yummy but the added value was definitely Yuka san (and her great kid!). They explained so many things and did not shy away from having an enriching discussion with us on all kinds of topics. If you're getting to Osaka, make sure to book a class!

We had a great time! - Yuka was a great host!! I booked this cooking class with my dad and we had a great time. We were told about the local shrine and also taken into local shops (our favourite was the plum wine shop which was fab) and everything was explained very clearly. The cooking class itself was SUPER fun! Thank you so much Yuka!!

Food experience in Osaka. - Wonderful unexpected window into Japanese food culture in Osaka with Yuka that we would not have otherwise discovered during our time in Osaka. It was a brilliant father-daughter experience for us. Highly recommended.

Great Katsu Curry Class! - The katsu curry class was great! She took us to sesame and plum shops in the neighborhood before we started cooking, and she explained how we could make the curry our own, both at the class and on our own at home.
