What you can expect

  • Discover traditional Japanese food culture through a fun and hands-on experience in Osaka's famous Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street, Japan's longest shopping street.

    Begin your experience with traditional Japanese mochi pounding, one of Japan's most exciting food traditions. Using a traditional wooden mallet, work together to pound freshly steamed glutinous rice until it transforms into soft, chewy mochi. Feel the texture change as you experience this unique Japanese tradition first-hand.

    Next, enjoy making your own Japanese daifuku sweets. Learn the difference between traditional mochi and daifuku, a popular Japanese sweet made by wrapping soft mochi dough around delicious fillings.

    Create your own colourful daifuku using fresh seasonal fruits and matcha ice cream. Enjoy combining traditional Japanese confectionery techniques with delicious modern flavours.

    After making your daifuku, experience the Japanese tradition of preparing matcha. Learn how to use a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen) to prepare authentic Japanese matcha. Whisk your own bowl of matcha and discover the rich flavours and cultural traditions behind this famous Japanese green tea.

    Finally, enjoy your handmade daifuku together with your freshly prepared matcha. The combination of Japanese sweets and matcha is a wonderful way to experience Japanese food culture.

    Located in the heart of Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street, this experience also offers a chance to discover the atmosphere of one of Osaka's most lively local areas.

    Whether you're visiting Japan for the first time or looking for a unique cultural activity, this hands-on experience is a fun and memorable way to discover Japanese traditions.
