Product Description

Step into the heart of Japanese culture in Osaka, Japan’s culinary capital, and enjoy an immersive cooking experience like no other. Join Katsuji, a seasoned expert with over 38 years in the food industry and featured in Japan’s Hometown Tax Return Program, for an intimate culinary and cultural journey in his home.

Begin your visit with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony in an authentic tearoom. Relax and experience the calming ritual of hand-whisked matcha green tea, led by a professional in a serene and welcoming setting.

Next, roll up your sleeves in the kitchen as you learn to cook two of Japan’s most iconic dishes—sushi and ramen—from scratch using fresh, premium ingredients. Chef Katsuji will guide you step-by-step, sharing techniques and stories from decades of culinary experience.

After the meal, you’ll receive a special souvenir: a custom hand-drawn piece of Japanese calligraphy created by Katsuji himself, offering a lasting reminder of your experience.
