Full Description

Step into the heart of Osaka’s rich culinary scene with this interactive cooking experience, set in the exclusive MagicalTrip Original Cooking Studio. Begin your journey with a visit to a local supermarket where your English-speaking guide will show you how locals select ingredients for everyday meals. You’ll pick up fresh produce and learn about the staples of Japanese home cooking.

Back at the studio, you’ll dive into the preparation of three iconic dishes:

Niku-sui – A savory beef and dashi broth soup, popular among Osaka locals
Okonomiyaki – Osaka’s famous savory pancake, with endless combinations of ingredients
Gyoza (Yaki-gyoza) – Delicious pan-fried dumplings that are fun to fold and cook together

Each dish is broken down into simple steps, making the class approachable and enjoyable for all experience levels. Whether you’re an experienced foodie or a total beginner, you’ll feel right at home in this casual, friendly environment.

As you cook and eat, sample four varieties of local sake carefully selected to complement the flavors of your meal. If you prefer, tea or soft drinks are available. Your guide will also take photos throughout the experience and send them to you afterward as a souvenir.

This 4-hour tour is more than just a cooking class—it’s a cultural immersion into the soul of Osaka, guided by locals who love sharing their traditions. It’s an ideal experience for travelers looking to slow down, savor real flavors, and connect with the stories behind Japan’s cuisine.
