It was an amazing...

It was an amazing opportunity to experience Osaka through food. Since the dishes weren't too complicated, we had plenty of time for talking. The food was amazing and the sake tasting was definitely a new experience. I recommend this cooking class for everyone who wants to cook in a relaxed environment.

Wonderful Experience

We had an amazing experience with Chie. Not only did we cook delicious dishes, which we will try at home, but Chie provided a great history lesson on Japan and answered all of our questions about this intriguing country. Shopping with Chie for the ingredients needed for our meal was a great addition to the experience, we learned so much about Japanese products and origins. Thank you for a wonderful evening and experience.
Fun private cooking experience. I was the only person who signed up for the cooking class and Nina made it fun.

I arrived early at the meeting spot and she was there with waiting for me. Together we went grocery shopping and it was nice to experience shopping in Japan - everyone’s bags their own purchases unlike in America. The ingredients were very fresh. We then went to the cooking school and got to work. It was a small clean space to cook. She played music as we cooked. We made octopus balls, chicken, cabbage salad and tuna, avocado and tomato salad. Everything was delicious. Even sampled a few sake. I really enjoyed Nina’s easy going personality and enjoyed singing along to our favorite 80s songs!
