★★★★★It was a great cooking class. Maya and her mum were attentive and answered all my questions. They are the only class that teaches Japanese dessert and advised me where to sought the ingredients that I can take back to my home country. They even recommended me places to visit whilst my stay in Japan. Overall highly highly recommend this class.

★★★★★Great experience making a wide range of wagashi! Arisa and Maya were incredibly friendly and patient teaching me how to make 3 separate sweets and answered all the questions that I had. I enjoyed the recipe printouts that they provided to take home also. Would highly recommend the experience!

★★★★★My friends and I just stumbled upon this cooking class and we are so happy we did - it was truly one of the loveliest afternoons we have ever spent! As a special treat their mother was able to join us for the class as well and it was a really special experience. We were so surprised to learn that we were their first ever students because they were incredible teachers and seemed so professional. They met us at the station and walked us over to their home, and we felt so welcome - they provided aprons and slippers and served us some tea as they explained how the class would proceed. We prepared three dishes under their guidance - Dorayaki, Matcha Dorayaki, and Ichigo Daifuku. It was really fun and they were very encouraging and supportive, especially when we made silly mistakes with preparing the food! After we made the food, they taught us how to make matcha and how to drink it in a tea ceremony which was definitely the highlight of the afternoon. We enjoyed our tea and snacks with them and had lots of laughs together, we cannot stress enough how much we loved this class! They very kindly recommended some things for us to do after the class as well. You definitely should attend this class while you’re in Osaka, you will not regret it :)
