Cook, Taste and Enjoy Osaka

Visiting Osaka you’re bound to see Takoyaki stalls everywhere. Skilled chefs serving up delicious golden balls of lightly fried batter and succulent Octopus. We were taught be a really fun and skilled chef who showed us how easy it is to make Takoyaki. We got to choose all of our own fillings and got some special recommendations on other delicious options from Octopus if you’d prefer meat or vegetables. It was a hoot and would be great for kids and groups as it’s easy and you can all get involved.

We had a fun and memorable experience learning how to cook Takoyaki, a classic Osaka dish! It’s a fun, interactive experience and would be great for couples, families or friends! We got to choose our own fillings, so the takoyaki was super customizable. We had such fun flipping the takoyaki and making them into perfect round balls. We got to eat then at the end and they were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this experience!

What an amazing experience! The host was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to in English, and the chef was extremely warm and inviting. We made okonomiyaki and takoyaki, two original foods from Osaka. If you travel here, you'll see tons of shops selling them, so it was such a cool, unique (and delicious!!) experience to be able to make them ourselves. The best part was that we got to choose the combo of fillings for each takoyaki! There was cheese, sausage, kimchi, mochi, the traditional octopus, and more. It was tons of fun and would be a great family experience. And what we couldn't finish, we could take home! 10/10 would recommend!

This cooking and cultural experience is a must if visiting Osaka! The instructors were super friendly and introduced us to a local dish called okonomiyaki (savoury cabbage pancakes) and some Japanese classics like tempura and rice balls. I can’t wait to try making them for my friends and family at home! The recipes were easy to follow and even my school-age daughter got involved, so it’s definitely a family-friendly class. The highlight though was eating our delicious delicacies at the end of the course while being entertained with the traditional and unique sounds of the shamisen (a Japanese banjo). The music added an authentic touch to the whole experience. Best of all the classroom was conveniently located right near a major train station and lots of hotels so we didn’t have to walk far at all to get there. It’s in a really interesting part of town too, so worth a look around before or after the class. Overall a great day out in Osaka if you’re a foodie or family looking for something fun and new to try.

Food is wonderful. Everything is great. Instructor is also perfect, it is very easy to understand how to cook!

I'm open to experience, this is the best one and very fun!
