This ended up being a private lesson, very personal experience. We learned about traditional ways and how to create delicious food! Our teacher was super knowledgeable and answered all questions. I would definitely do a different class with her again.

Amazing Sushi Making Lesson in Osaka

Melanie_C, Dec 2023

Yayo is a wonderful Sushi teacher. We had a fun, informative and delicious experience. Highly recommended. We laughed & we learned “hands on”. One of the top 3 best parts of our 11 days in Japan! Thank you.

Great!

Kristina_R, Oct 2023

It's a small class in what feels like a home. She is really nice and you learn a lot while having a great experience.

This sushi class was everything I was hoping it would be and more!

Joel_D, Sep 2023

The hostess was very knowledgeable and incredibly kind! I didn't feel like there was a language barrier at all because her English was excellent. She was very encouraging and patient with me as well. She also shows you how to make each item before you try to make it which was greatly appreciated because I'm more of a visual learner. I feel like she made me a master sushi chef in the span of 2.5 hours, and I am confident that I can make everything that I made in the class at home. The food and sake was also fantastic!

Amazing experience

Alexis_P, Sep 2023

My brother and I had so much fun learning how to make sushi with Yayo. Yayo was very kind as we were half an hour late due to a missed train. The little experiences she provided was amazing. We had a great time and would go again in a heartbeat. The food was amazing and we learned a lot about the different techniques to make Japanese food.

A must for sushi lovers!

Awesome Class with

Diana_E, Nov 2019

My family and I visited Osaka and were looking for fun activities that we could do in addition to sightseeing. This class was the perfect experience for learning more about culture and history of sushi in Japan, and specifically in Osaka! We made takoyaki, matcha green tea, and tamagoyaki in addition to a sushi platter that we ate afterwards. I would highly recommend visiting and taking this class!

We messed up hee kitchen

819mamabear, Nov 2019

As we lost our way in finding the meeting place, Yayo sensei settled us in with drinks and light snacks while we catch our breathe. Sensei played such a good host patiently walking us through each dish and guide us with our hands-on. Akane wore a very pretty kimono to welcome us at the door. She was so well behaved when we were having lessons. Despite our messing up her place, she made the whole cooking session so fun and helped us feel like great cook. We learned so much and had a wonderful time trying new yet familiar foods. We're looking forward to trying the recipes at home. We all highly recommend this experience if you're in Osaka even if you have never cook. Had just bought a rectangle pan online to try making dashimaki for my family.

Great!

This was an excellent learning opportunity, and we loved the sushi that we made! Yayo's has a passion for teaching, and she exudes a thoughtful and welcoming essence. She was very generous during the class, and we left having our had expectations exceeded. The sake was great, and the sushi was super tasty, which was awesome because we now can make it at home!

Highly recommend sushi with Yayo!

I had a wonderful experience with Yayo. She is a very gracious & fun host who is patient and takes the time to explain things, including the history of why certain techniques are used. Yayo also provided information to take home around the items we prepared; I will get a chance to try these with my family. I highly recommend spending an evening with Yayo!

This was definitely a highlight of our 2 week trip to Japan. It exceeded my expectations, and I am so glad we did this. I 100 recommend this sushi-making class! Yayo met us at the train station and walked us to her apartment. We had a lovely tea, and then proceeded to making a Japanese omelet, Yayo showed us how to make miso, and then we made our sushi. Beautiful, fun experience -- take this class, you will not regret it!!

Mark R, Apr 2017

This was one of the highlights of our time in Japan. Yayo is an extremely nice person who truly opens up her home to you for this experience. Learning how to make sushi, miso soup, and the Japanese omelet were not only very informative but extremely fun to do. Yayo is also a very generous person whose personality and made this experience very personal and outstanding. I would totally recommend this event, it is extremely worth it!
