What to expect
Visit Osaka for a unique food adventure with Katsuji, a local expert with 30+ years of experience. Begin in an authentic tearoom for a real tea ceremony, relaxing with hand-whisked matcha. During the Spring season, enjoy the added beauty of Sakura decor as you whisk your tea.
Then move into the kitchen and choose your cooking path: make sushi paired with ramen, kushikatsu, wagyu, or tempura. For a seasonal treat, you can also prepare a festive Spring Oiwai Gozen or a Sakura sushi bento, using fresh ingredients to capture the essence of renewal. Enjoy what you create, then take home a cultural souvenir: custom hand-drawn calligraphy made by Katsuji himself. This experience concludes with a deeper appreciation of how seasonality is celebrated in daily Japanese life.
