Creamy Ramen & Crispy Gyoza Cooking Class in Osaka
Cooking Classes
Our class on Japanese sweets was an exceptional journey. The teachers expertly guided us through the history and techniques of making mochi, dango, and nerikiri. Their passion for their craft was evident as they took the time to ensure everyone understood each step, accommodating my non-English speaking mom beautifully. It was much more than just a cooking class; it was a cultural immersion that brought our family together in a very special way.
Crafting these sweets was a delight. Each creation was not only delicious but visually stunning. The instructors' dedication to detail and their warm, engaging teaching style made the whole experience enjoyable. We not only learned how to make these sweets but also gained an appreciation for the culture and traditions behind them.
This class was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring a unique culinary art and spending a meaningful day with loved ones. It's a perfect blend of education, hands-on fun, and cultural appreciation.
