Experience the flavours of Osaka by learning how to make three of Japan's most beloved dishes: Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and Onigiri.
In this hands-on cooking class, your local instructor will guide you through the process of preparing authentic Osaka-style Takoyaki (octopus-filled savoury balls), Okonomiyaki (Japanese savoury pancake), and traditional Japanese rice balls known as Onigiri. Along the way, learn about the history of these dishes, their cultural significance, and their role in everyday Japanese life.
Start by preparing Takoyaki batter and mastering the technique of turning perfectly round Takoyaki using a traditional Takoyaki grill. Next, create your own Okonomiyaki using fresh ingredients and learn why this famous dish has become a symbol of Osaka's food culture. Finally, make your own Onigiri and discover different fillings, shapes, and seasonings enjoyed throughout Japan.
After cooking, sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you've prepared while chatting with your host about Japanese food culture, daily life, and local customs. Feel free to ask questions about Osaka, Japanese traditions, or travel in Japan.
This experience is suitable for beginners and requires no previous cooking experience. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, with friends, or as a family, this class offers a fun and memorable way to experience Japanese culture through food.
