This was the highlight of our trip and a must do while in Osaka!! Yayo is an excellent teacher and cook, she walks you through every step of making your meal. She explains the process for how each of your ingredients are made and the history and culture of Osaka cooking. The three of us all had different levels of cooking experience but none of us struggled with Yayo's instructions. She encourages and helps along the way so it's not stressful at all! Everything is very well paced too. Come hungry and be ready to take some left overs for lunch the following day. A very very generous amount of tasty food. If I had to recommend one thing to do in Japan it would be this class!! It was that good!!! I'm fully converted to Osaka style cuisine :)

This cooking class was the best we have ever experienced. It should definitely not be skipped while visiting Osaka.
Our teacher, Yayo, welcomed us into her home, picked tasty dishes to teach us, had explanations for everything, and was prepared for all eventualities and mishaps. She was a knowledgeable, gracious, and generous host. We learned so much and are already planning to apply our new knowledge at home :)
Thank you so much, Yayo, for your kindness, humour, generosity, the recipe sheets, and your great way of teaching!
Katrin, Birgitt and Wilfried

Yayo was a great host - friendly, informative, relaxed. The food we made was absolutely delicious and there was lots of it. We even used her mum's home-made miso. A really lovely way to spend a few hours in Osaka if you're into cooking, or even just have an interest in Japanese food. No specialist knowledge was required.
