What a fantastic experience! Terumi is a lovely kind host and gave us a lot of information about Japanese culture. First, we made Japanese sweet together. It was so interesting for me to mold the soft dough into a beautiful flower which we can eat with a bowl of matcha later. Afterwards, she took us a cosy Japanese room and started tea ceremony. I learned a lot of things about tea ceremony even l am Japanese. It gave us special insight into Japanese culture and tradition. Also, the house was a cosy Japanese house and it would be a good chance to see a real Japanese daily life. One of the meeting point, JR Ibaraki is a convinient location, takes just 10 minutes fro JR Osaka station and her house is close to the station. I highly recommend you to join this experience! 日本人ですがとても勉強になり素敵な体験でした。日本文化を外国人に案内されたい方にもオススメです。お茶と和菓子もとても美味しかったです。

I enjoyed a few wonderful hours with Terumi san. She is a caring and intelligent instructor who made me feel comfortable. She has an abundance of knowledge on Japanese food, sweets and the tea ceremony. Not only does she have the technical skill to help you make delicious food, but she also deeply understands the philosophy of wa shoku and the tea ceremony. Terumi picked me up from the station (I accidentally went to the wrong one!) Terumi also went the extra mile in preparing an addition of food for our lunch, which we shared with her wonderful Aunt. I was so full! There was a genuine feeling of love and gratitude at the table. I now feel confident in making soy milk with a trustworthy recipe and method. And from this, delicious yuba and tofu can easily be prepared. Terumi and I made nerikiri (a type of Japanese sweet) which wasnt as hard as it looks! The tea ceremony was a beautiful process and I felt the added level of instruction (I was asked to have a go!) helped me to more fully understand the practice. I thought a tea ceremony would be quite austere, but thankfully this was fun. Terumi had all the photos of our day uploaded really quickly in a shared folder. She even took me out to a local shop so I could buy a souvenir of our day. What a wonderful experience; I can't wait to do it again!
3. Homely Style Osaka Takoyaki Cooking

5.0 based on 1 reviews
It’ll take 2.5 hours to take this hands-on takoyaki cooking from scratch. If you make takoyaki with my recipe, the outside will have crunchy texture while the inside is creamy, and it has UMAMI taste even without takoyaki sauce. But I love to eat takoyaki with sauce which is a general way to eat takoyaki too!! In this workshop two kinds of takoyaki will be prepared because I couldn’t choose only one. One is a bit sweet which is similar to original takoyaki sauce, and the other is made with soy sauce base. While we are grilling takoyaki balls, we will make miso soup (soup with miso and Japanese fundamental soup stock), Japanese cucumber salad and black sugar dessert. You might need some practice to make a perfect takoyaki, but don’t worry!! You can grasp the techniques of takoyaki making shortly with my tips with you. After cooking, let's have takoyakia, miso soup, cucumber salad and a Japanese-style sweets, and Osaka coke or mineral water.
Inclusions: All ingredients for two types of takoyaki, Japanese traditional dishes, and a teat., All equipment for cooking, and recipe package to take home., Home made umeshu (plum vine)
