🌟Highly Praised by Overseas Bloggers!
Located just a short walk from Osaka Castle, this private cooking class has become a hot topic among travelers.
The host, Makiyo-san, is a professional pastry chef with over 25 years of culinary experience, including study and work in France. Combining her expert skills with months of trial and error, she created a 100% vegan ramen and handmade gyoza recipe that has earned her a perfect 5-star rating from guests around the world.
✨Highlights of the Experience
Even without any animal products, the vegan ramen broth boasts a surprisingly rich, deeply satisfying flavor.
Instead of traditional chashu pork, the dish features Kurumafu (a traditional Japanese wheat gluten ingredient). Absorbing the rich soup like a sponge, the Kurumafu mimics the texture and appearance of real meat so well that guests often praise it as “a wonderful culinary discovery they never would have found on their own.
By sharing thier personal experience, Mochi offers travelers an insightful and practical guide on how to experience authentic Japanese cooking through local, interactive classes🍳.
