Bringing a New Culinary Experience to the Hotel
At THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI, we go beyond the typical hotel dining experience by offering fun, one-of-a-kind food events like our “Ethical Cooking Workshop.” This time, guests will try their hand at baking a fragrant vegan matcha and cinnamon chiffon cake and enjoy a French-inspired vegan course meal while it bakes.
This workshop is designed to be both enjoyable and meaningful—using ethically sourced, locally grown ingredients with sustainability in mind. It’s a chance to experience a fresh, flavorful, and planet-friendly approach to food, aligned with the values of the SDGs.
“Chef’s Green Labo”: A Sustainable Cooking Workshop with Our In-House Chef Showcasing Kansai’s Local Ingredients
THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI has hosted a range of wellness events in the past, including rooftop Pilates, yoga, and DJ beat workouts.
Now, we’re proud to introduce “Chef’s Green Labo,” a new concept under our “Wellness on the Plate” initiative. It’s a hands-on cooking workshop focused on food that’s not only good for your body but also kind to the planet. The workshop highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted Kansai-based producers and reimagines them through sustainable, ethical cooking.
Expect a dining experience that’s healthy, delicious, and deeply connected to the region.
Experience the Elegant World of Vegan French Cuisine — “Chef’s Green Labo” in an Intimate Setting
Led by our in-house chef, who brings years of experience in French cuisine and a flair for inventive vegan dishes, this small-group workshop gives you the chance to create a matcha and cinnamon chiffon cake from scratch.
After watching a live demonstration, guests will step into the kitchen and make their own cakes. With a small group size of only 12, the setting is casual and interactive—perfect for asking questions and learning new techniques directly from the chef.
While the cakes are in the oven, you’ll be treated to a specially curated vegan French course meal. Think terrine-style starters with a French twist, plant-based takes on classic meat dishes, and elegant flavors that reflect the chef’s creativity—all served with care and conscience.
You’ll also have the chance to relax, connect, and enjoy great conversations with other guests who share a passion for food and sustainability.
Treat yourself to a luxurious and mindful evening of cooking, dining, and discovery at THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI.
