Cooking Sun — Local services in Osaka

We took the Ramen and Gyoza class in Osaka while staying in Kyoto (Osaka is an easy day trip). We highly recommend it.

It was located in a condo a block away from Dotonbori, which is convenient for tourists like us since Dotonbori is a great place to walk around before and after the class. They emailed instructions for accessing their unit a few days prior to the class.

Both women who taught the class were great instructors who were highly organized, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions. One instructor spent time growing up in the US, so her English was top notch which made communication easy. And her partner was good at English too. We learned on our trip to Japan that this is not always a guarantee on every tour/class, so we really appreciated that.

When it was all said and done it was plenty of food, so don't stuff yourself before your class... though you don't eat till about 2.5 hours into the class, so I wouldn't want to be starving when you...

We had a lovely time doing the suncooking food tour. The tour was really well executed, that was mostly because of our knowledgeable and attentive guide Emi. We started out with some snacks and matcha, before moving on to a bit more heavy foods. We tried so much different well tasting food that we were totally full at the end of the tour. Emi, rearranged the tour after we told her where we had been the day before and showed us new parts of the town. She also recommended different places on our trip. The food was delicious. Would definitely recommend everyone...

We went to a morning sushi making class and it was great! The location is only a short walk from a metro station. We had a warm welcome and were given in depth explanations and interesting facts during the session. We made 3 different types of sushi (pressed, rolled, nigiri) alongside a miso soup. This lasted around 2.5 hours and we then had time to eat what we had made - of course it was delicious 😊 the venue is clean and the class hosts are wonderful and speak very good English - would recommend to anyone...
