Visitaremos lo mejor de Osaka en un día: templos y santuarios míticos, y todos esos barrios auténticos de Osaka. Comenzaremos en el gran santuario Sumiyoshi, donde prácticamente inició Japón. Tomaremos el viejo tranvía hacia Tennoji, donde visitaremos el primer templo budista de Japón, Shitennoji, y el místico Ishinji. Comeremos en Shinsekai, mi lugar favorito de Osaka y después iremos al corazón de la cultura popular, Nippon-bashi y Namba. Atravesaremos Dotonbori y terminaremos en Shinsaibashi y Amemura, barrios alternativos de Osaka. *Nota* Pueden cambiar Namba por Umeda o el Castillo de Osaka. En el caso de Umeda, moderna y vibrante, es donde nace una de las historias más famosas de Osaka y el teatro japonés: Los amantes suicidas de Sonezaki. De ir al Castillo de Osaka, nos adentramos en los terrenos de lo que alguna vez fue el símbolo de la unificación del país mientras les cuento chismes samuráis. Durante nuestro recorrido, les tomaré fotos con mi cámara para que recuerden su viaje y que ustedes son lo mejor de Osaka. 「Escríbeme si la experiencia no está disponible」

You will make cute sushi in a typical Japanese home kitchen(for up to 4 people). For groups of 5 or more, the sushi class will be held in a nearby space. Sushi is a rolled sushi with a cute pattern. The moment you cut it, you will be impressed. Patterns include animals and flowers... I will ask you in advance what you would like to make from animals, flowers, and anime (first come, first served). Look forward to seeing what pattern you will see when you cut the sushi. This is a course where you make one type of sushi and eat it immediately afterwards. Includes miso soup and a simple snack. This is a course that takes about 2 hours in total. Please choose this course if you have children or would like to have a fun experience of rolling sushi.

I will give you a sushi recipe so you can easily make the same at home.

Ramen and gyoza are some of the most popular foods in Japan, not only for natives, but for tourists as well. But sometimes these foods can be too heavy or not vegan- and halal-friendly. I think everyone should have a chance to enjoy Japanese cuisine, so I developed a healthy recipe compatible with vegan and halal diets. After meeting at Cora Coffee I, we'll move to my private kitchen. We'll start out our class with a lecture about Japanese cuisine and lifestyle. Then we'll start cooking two different kinds of ramen broth, along with ramen and gyoza made from all-natural ingredients and seasonings, using my original recipe, which is healthy and easy to recreate at home. Home cooking is not only centered on the happiness and health of the family, but is also nourishing and easy to prepare. Come experience the power of this tradition. Experience is the best souvenir. Other things to note All you need to bring is your appetite. Feel free to take as many photos and videos as you wish during the class. Let me know of any dietary restrictions in advance.
