Step into everyday Japan with a hands-on cooking experience in a traditional Japanese home.
Hosted by Sayuri, an experienced natural food chef, this intimate small-group experience combines seasonal Japanese home cooking with the warmth of Japanese hospitality.

With a maximum of 4 guests, this is a personal way to experience Japanese food, culture, and everyday life away from the crowds of central Osaka. Vegetarian and vegan options are available.
