Join Japanese chef Michiharu for a private, hands-on cooking class in Osaka and choose between preparing sushi or tempura. Learn traditional techniques and discover the stories behind these popular Japanese dishes before enjoying the meal you’ve made together. With guidance from a chef who trained in his family’s sushi restaurant, this experience offers a deeper introduction to Japanese culinary traditions.
In this 2-hour hands-on Osaka cooking class, you can choose between a sushi-making class or a tempura-making class. In the sushi class, you will learn how to prepare sushi rice from scratch and make three types of sushi - sushi rolls, nigiri, and chirashi. In the tempura class, you will discover how to make light, crispy tempura batter from scratch and explore the fascinating history of tempura’s Portuguese origins. In both classes, Michiharu shares culinary techniques along with the cultural history behind each dish, giving you a true taste of Japanese food traditions.
After cooking, sit down to enjoy the meal you prepared. This Osaka cooking class is perfect for anyone who wants to learn authentic Japanese cooking from an experienced chef.
