Menu
Master the fun technique of flipping takoyaki — golden and crispy on the outside, delightfully gooey on the inside! This is a wonderful hands-on class that both adults and children are sure to love.
Not a fan of octopus? No problem! We offer a wide variety of delicious toppings, including umami-rich salami and melty cheese, so the whole family can customize their own takoyaki just the way they like it.
To wrap up the experience on a sweet note, you'll also handcraft your very own fruit daifuku — made with soft mochi and sweet red bean paste — for a truly special finishing treat!
