Customer Reviews
Fantastic mochi making experience. As a group, we formed the mochi from beginning to end, and was able to eat a good amount of that mochi per person with a variety of seasonings. All staff were very friendly, and quite fluent in English. I'd recommend this for anyone wanting a cultural activity that also has you eating a good amount of mochi!
A fun and authentic experience! We learned every step of traditional mochi making — from pounding the rice to tasting the final result. The hosts were warm, patient, and very engaging. It was cultural, interactive, and delicious! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a genuine part of Japanese tradition.
We signed up for this as something to fill the time before we caught our ferry out of Osaka. Had no expectations except, we liked mochi. This was a stellar experience and so much fun. We learned about one of our favourite Japanese snacks/desserts and got to make it from scratch and try 8 different kinds of flavouring. The staff were kind, fun, and had a great sense if humour. The mochi was delicious and the whole thing was educational while being quite entertaining. When you are in Osaka, you need to take the time to do this. The location is also ideal, if you plan on exploring Dotonbori or DenDen town. Check this out, you will not regret it. Just make sure to book in advance like we did, as when we arrived the day and the next day were fully booked.
