Osaka Sake Tasting & Takoyaki Cooking Experience

We had a wonderful time! Momo is so knowledgeable, and she is lovely to speak with about sake and food. The class is conducted in English, held in a private space, and it was just our family, which made it feel all the more special. We took the 6:30 PM class due to the sake tasting. We enjoyed learning to make takoyaki and dining on what we made. The ingredients were fresh (she even caught the octopus herself), and we had an opportunity to expand our takoyaki ingredients, adding corn and prawns. Momo was very knowledgeable and taught us much about different types of sakes, including fruit, how to consider dryness and sweetness levels, the difference in unpasteurized/pasteurized sake, and that aged and dessert sakes exist. A light dessert was served at the end, which was absolutely delicious! Our 12 year old son loved the class too, and Momo offered a selection of soft drinks for him to enjoy. It was a special experience for our family, and I would highly recommend it. Thank you, Momo. We wish you the very best!

So worth it!! I learned so much about the sake making process and how to understand labels and what I might like. Helped when choosing sake gifts for friends and their different tastes too. The takoyaki process is very fun, messy (or I am!), but delicious. Momo is so knowledgeable and friendly and she seems to know a little bit about everywhere. I tried takoyaki many times in Australia, and in Japan in Tokyo and Osaka... The takoyaki we made here is still the best I ever had. Something about its freshness, the flavour combos, not too hot, and the perfect crispness outside and spherical shape. Momo's guidance will help you make some premium yaki!

Momo was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We both really enjoyed our night learning and tasting different sake’s.

Momo was amazing! We had a fantastic time. Highly recommend. Great experience. Delicious food and sake.

This place is an undiscovered gem! Momo was such a good host. She took care of us and helped us make make really good takoyaki! The conversation was great and the history was fun to learn. Such a fun night!

Went on a Tuesday ended up with a private lesson! Learnt so much about Sakè, drank too much Sakè and will be going home to buy a Takoyaki Skillet!

Momo, the hostess was absolutely excellent. A fantastic hands on experience with generous servings of top quality Sake. Momo, as a local Japenese Somellier was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us cook some delicious local foods. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Osaka.

A very knowledgeable and thoughtful experience that we would highly recommend. Momo was amazing and was the highlight of our 4 days in Osaka!

Momo’s saki knowledge and experience was both informative and helpful. We learned a lot. Making takoyaki and experimenting with different toppings was super fun. Highly recommend this class.

My partner and I booked this experience, and it was one of our favorite memories!! We loved the intimate setting, learning how to make takoyaki, and trying so many delicious sakis while being able to dial in on our specific preferences! Momo was so sweet and very knowledgeable about sake! It was very easy to talk to her, and we left feeling very confident about takoyaki! I highly recommend!! Don't think twice!
