Cook Osaka favorites with a shop walk near Tenmangu Shrine, then an English class choosing katsu curry, bento, okonomiyaki, or ramen.
“Absolutely one of the best experiences we have had on our trip to Japan. Our nine year old son enjoyed being able to make his own Katsu Curry. Something he was yet to try in Japan and now he’s keen to try to recreate this full flavoured dish at home. Thanks Osaka Cooking Base. We can’t wait to return to give another class a try!!!!”
