Osaka Workshops

We had a very fun time making the chopsticks. The instructors were so nice and helpful. We had a great conversation while making the chopsticks. Recommended if you are in the area, just stop by and join a workshop.

Our Osaka Cup Noodles Museum & Chicken Ramen tour with Satoshi Yamamoto was great. Yamamoto was very friendly and overall an excellent tour guide. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who has yet to visit the museum. This was overall a very good experience. Make sure to stop by their gift store!

Fantastisk opplevelse! Dette var veldig underholdende, og personalet gjør alt for å sørge for at du har det kjempegøy. Du vil dra herfra med et smil om munnen og en større forståelse for sumobryting! Ikke nøl med å bestille dette.

Pintar una muñeca Daruma tradicional en Osaka resultó ser una de las experiencias más significativas de nuestro viaje. Es una idea tan simple, pintar una cara en tu propio Daruma, pero conlleva mucha intención. Te fijas una meta, pintas un ojo y luego completas el otro cuando esa meta se hace realidad. Hizo que toda la actividad se sintiera personal, no solo creativa. Incluso sin un idioma perfecto, el personal nos guio muy amablemente a través del proceso. Había algo realmente relajante en sentarse, concentrarse y poner tu propia pequeña personalidad en el diseño. Sin presión para que fuera perfecto, solo tuyo. Terminó siendo más que un simple recuerdo. Sentimos que nos llevábamos a casa un pequeño pedazo de la cultura japonesa, junto con un tranquilo recordatorio de nuestras metas. Una experiencia tan sana y arraigada, y algo que realmente conservaremos y recordaremos.

Sehr intime und fesselnde Sitzung... interessant und die Perlen sind erstaunlich... wir sind nebenan für einen Matcha vorbeigegangen, während er unsere Perlen in eine Halskettenfassung montierte.

The process was smooth and easy. The instructor set up the warp and we just had to weave the weft. We were taught to use the shuttle, and before that, we were given a free choice to pick our skeins for weaving. We were also given 2 free coasters and 2 friendship bracelets at the end of the workshop, which was a very nice touch. The studio was also very cozy to be in.

we came in a group of 5, staffs are very generous and friendly, they will try their best to communicate with us for most times. The caligraphy class was fun but might become less focusing in a large group setting. kimono choices were not that many, and the location-wise is quite misleading. Not photogenic places nearby

very easy to find and such a fu and funny experience, a lovely way to ease in to Osaka! Really lovely people!

The class was amazing! Our instructor, Haru, did a fabulous job explaining the history and the steps of sashiko. I am pretty clumsy but was able to finish the piece, even with a few hiccups. The building’s atmosphere lends itself to art and creation. There is also a store that sells sashiko premade craft sets along with some beautifully finished pieces. Next to the sashiko store front is a cute cafe, comecoLABO, that I definitely recommend you try either before or after the class. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and I felt like we bonded in our class as we relaxed and chatted while doing sashiko. Will definitely go again!
