Meeting and making lunch with Yoko was a fantastic experience and a great way to start our trip in Japan. We learnt so much about Japanese flavours and food culture, and made a delicious lunch of sushi rolls, gyoza, miso and two salads. Yoko was so lovely and interesting, answered my endless questions - like whether it’s true sushi shouldn’t be eaten with chopsticks - and had loads of great advice for a few days eating and drinking in Osaka. Thank you Yoko!

I took a class together with Yurika-san and her mother in Osaka. I was able to pay a bit extra and arrange a combination class for myself. I had wonderful time learning how to cook with fresh ingredients, and each recipe, tempura, yakisoba, takoyaki (special industrial grill) and okonomiyaki had taste of home, and so many different sauces to try. She shared helpful tips and knowledge about the ingredients, such as components of dashi, the golden stock. It was such a great evening with good food and conversations. Thank you!
