One of the highlights of our trip!

Yayo was the most gracious host. She met us at the rail station and we walked to her apartment. We were introduced to many Japanese dishes that was way fun to cook and learn about the ingredients. She was super sweet with all the questions we had. It was very fun to sample the different varieties of Sake but the best one was the Plum Sake made by her and her mother. She sent us home with presents - our name, written in Japanese, a cool origami bird, and high-quality chopsticks! Well worth the money and I would do this again on future trips to Japan!

The cooking course was really friendly, easy to locate and most informative. Every question we had was politely answered by our host and we learned the basics of cooking several main Japanese dishes, which I intend to practice when I return home based on the ingredients and recipes provided to us along with memorable items used on the day. Many thanks YAYO, this was a fantastic course.

Wonderful cooking class!

I had a wonderful cooking class in Osaka last week. My host/chef was awesome, kind, funny and kept the food coming! It's hands on, which I really liked. You don't have to prepare the food just cook it how she shows you. You also get to take some home! I had some saki that was more like champagne! She has these containers that she keeps the saki in with pickled fruit and it's amazing. She also makes her own miso paste with her family and brings that in to cook with. Very authentic, very Osaka, and simply wonderful!
