Full description

This is a 1-hour experience in Osaka. It is run by Sushi Making Japan | Cooking Class in Japan, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Osaka is Japan's kitchen: the city that invented takoyaki, okonomiyaki and kushikatsu, and Dotonbori's canal of neon signs is where it eats them. Osaka Castle is a 1931 concrete reconstruction of Hideyoshi's fortress with a museum inside and a moat and park worth an hour; Kuromon market is the food market; Shinsekai is the retro district under Tsutenkaku tower; Umeda Sky Building has the open-air observatory. Osaka is the base for day trips to Nara, Kobe, Himeji and Koyasan, all under an hour and a half. The city is louder and cheaper than Kyoto and its people are known for it.

The price covers Cooking class, Ingredients and Instructor. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Sushi Making Japan | Cooking Class in Japan sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sushi Making Japan | Cooking Class in Japan before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had an amazing time! The matcha was amazing and Fujiko was so helpful and nice! It was so refreshing to be in an experience with someone so kind and welcoming. The matcha tasted like the best matcha I ever had we also had some traditional snacks like Taiyaki and Mochi! I’m so happy we came and I booked this!

If you love Matcha, if you enjoy tea, or if you just want to do something fun then takr this class! I really enjoyed having Reika as my teacher who told me about the history of Matcha, its effects and nutritional value, as well as how to properly conduct a mactha ceremony!

We really liked our guide Lala giving us a look into Japanese tradition and culture! Matcha whisking is harder than I thought. We also appreciated the very interesting information about the Japanese language!

What an amazing experience! Since I was the only guest, Hinata could have simply gone through the program as planned, but instead she went above and beyond. She took her time, answered all my questions, and shared fascinating insights into Japanese tea culture. Her enthusiasm and genuine hospitality made this one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. The Matcha tasted fantastic, and I left with a much deeper appreciation for the tradition behind it. Thank you, Hinata, for making this such a memorable experience. I would book it again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone lookin

April for cherry blossom around Osaka Castle, or November for peak autumn foliage and the year's lowest rainfall. Both are the most crowded and most expensive months, so book hotels 3+ months ahead. See our best time to visit Osaka guide.
Get an ICOCA IC card (works interchangeably with Suica/Pasmo) and tap on/off the subway and buses. The Osaka Amazing Pass bundles transit with free entry to Osaka Castle and dozens of attractions if you're sightseeing hard for a day. See getting around Osaka.
Three days covers the essentials: a day for Osaka Castle and the city center, a day for Dotonbori and Shinsekai, and a day for a Nara or Kyoto side trip. Our 3-day Osaka itinerary has the full route.
Yes — Nara is about 30-45 minutes by Kintetsu train for the deer park and Todai-ji, and Kyoto is roughly 29 minutes by JR Special Rapid. Both are easy half-day or full-day trips. See our Osaka to Nara guide and Osaka to Kyoto guide.
Takoyaki (octopus balls) and okonomiyaki (savory pancake) are Osaka's signature street foods, best sampled around Dotonbori and Kuromon Market. See our Osaka food guide.
Yes — it's the city's neon-lit entertainment and food district, and while it's undeniably touristy, the energy, canal-side glow, and street food density make it genuinely worth an evening. See the Dotonbori guide.
Shinsekai is Osaka's retro, slightly gritty downtown district built around the Tsutenkaku Tower, known for kushikatsu (fried skewers). It's generally safe for tourists, especially in the daytime and early evening. See the Shinsekai guide.
