My name is Maki. I live in Osaka Japan and I love sharing Japanese home cooking and fermented foods.
I teach cooking classes for people from all over the world. My English is not perfect, but I always do my best to explain everything clearly and make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Japanese food culture is simple, but full of deep flavor and wisdom. I not only teach recipes, but also share the ideas and background behind the food.
I live with a dog, so I kindly ask guests with dog allergies not to attend. I can also accommodate vegetarian guests as much as possible.
Solo travelers, couples, friends, and families are all welcome.
I look forward to meeting people from different countries and sharing a warm and enjoyable experience together.

★★★★★We had a great time cooking with Maki and we felt very lucky that she and her husband invited us in their beautiful home with their cute dog. Maki is such a nice and lovely person. She guided us through the process of making vegetarian gyozas and Mochi (which were not part of the booking) - very delicious! In addition she gave us some local foods and self-made sauces to try and teached us some japanese expressions. We had good talks and a lot of fun. We definitely recommend cooking with Maki!
