    Highlight of our trip

    We signed up for the cooking class without knowing that the workshop was held in a museum. Not only everything was very professional from the kitchen setting to the outfit of he instructor but also the attitude of the staff was very friendly. You first go to a Japanese room and put on a kimono-like apron without a charge then you are taken to another Japanese stye room with samurais, bonsais and model temples in. Then you go to Japanese kitchen where historical cooking artifacts are displayed.

    Our instructor spoke perfect English and did her best to make us feel at ease. The trivia quiz about the Japanese cooking culture was very informative. We cooked miso soup (the best Ive ever had in my life) and then made sushi with salmon, tuna and some other kinds. I think the whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours but we did not realize how fast the time passed by. A must do in Osaka.

    On my last day in Osaka I wanted to get a hands on cooking experience so that I can go to the Asian supermarket home and cook some Japanese dishes myself. Man, this was way beyond my imagination. First of the lesson is held in a traditional kitchen, not in an apartment room that I expected and I got to put on a kimono costume for free. I took many pictures in the entire house, I even got to feed the koi fish in the pond. Since they walk you through the entire house you can take many pictures, I perhaps took more than 100 photos. Now I can show off my Japanese cooking skills and make my friends jealous.

    Our kids loved the cooking activity and interacting with the teacher who spoke perfect English. She was super kind to us and the kids all the time. She demonstrated all the steps patiently even even after my son spilled a huge cup of water on the table. The highlight was of course making sushi by ourselves. Making Japanese food in Japan was such an unforgettable memory we will keep. Thanks to Yuki for being such a great host and an excellent teacher. Arigato gozaimasu.

    For me, sushi is my favorite menu in my country. I need to know how Japanese do this kind of food so I may do it at home when I came back. As I join this class, I found that both content and the place are very interesting to me. I really appreciate every staffs here and will come back in next year for sure. Thanks for a great experience.
