Okinomiyaki and Yakisoba delight! - Fantastic experience! Yuka is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher! I would highly recommend for anyone visiting the Osaka area. The little tour before was very low pressure to buy anything in the shops we visited and the food we made was delicious!

Super fun experience!! - Yuko was very kind and friendly! Before the cooking class she also took us to some specialty shops, like a sesame store that sells rice seasoning and other things made with sesame. It was very interesting. The bento itself was cute, delicious and fun to make. Highly recommended!!

I was a nice time that we... - I was a nice time that we shared, but things could have been better: - After reading the activity description, we thought we would shop the ingredient needed for the receipes we were going to cook, but it wasn't the case. We visited two related shops. - Communication was not easy in English. - The cooking class was fairly simple, cutting, mixing and heating. The overall was a nice experience, but a fairly average cooking class. But I guess it depends from the expectations of each.
