If you're in Osaka, this experience is a MUST. :) We had such a lovely evening, it was for sure one of the best activities of our entire trip. Momoko is a fantastic host, speaks good English and taught us everything about Sake from scratch and also how to make delicious Takoyaki with different toppings. We spent almost all the time chatting away with her and also learned a lot about living in Japan and Japanese culture, which was great! Time flew by so fast. My husband had some takoyaki with wagyu beef and cheese which were delicious. As I am a pescetarian, Momoko provided me with some shrimp instead, so everybody was catered for, and the takoyaki were - honestly - even better than the ones we had had in Shinsekai the day before! Before this, we had hardly ever had Sake and we got to try lots of different varieties (hot and cold), which were all spectacular. Definitely would recommend to all foodies visiting Osaka!

Really enjoyed making the sushi. The teaching was good. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. However we did feel rushed at the end as they wanted to set up for the next class which started at 12 noon - immediately after our class which was 10-12

I really enjoyed the sushi making class at Joy Asakusa - the venue, produce and the overall quality of the experience is absolutely top notch and worth the money if you are visiting Japan. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting. The Chef and his assistant walked us thorugh the entire process of sushi making from the available ingredients and offered hands-on help constantly. We have watched multiple instruction videos over a massive immersive screen. We got to make 12 pieces of sushi using different types of fish and seafood. A vegetarian option is available too. The best part was definitely getting to enjoy the sushi we made together at the end of the class. During and after the class we were offered tea, water and an a sake tasting set :) If you're looking to learn a new skill in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere, I highly recommend this sushi-making class. It’s an experience I’ll remember for a long time!
