3 Hours Washoku Cooking Class
The host's home is a house in a quiet residential area. You can experience Japanese food as if you were staying with a Japanese family. The menu is Japanese home cooking, either “Oshizushi (pressed-sushi) Set” or “Seasonal Omotenashi Gozen (hospitality dish)”. After having fun cooking, you can enjoy a tasting in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats. The host's home is a 6-minute walk from Kintetsu Ikoma Station. Ikoma Station is easily accessible: 20 minutes from Osaka Namba Station and 15 minutes from Kintetsu Nara Station. Why don't you try Japanese food experience in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, where time passes slowly and nature abounds, unlike Osaka or Kyoto?
