Very nice, really good english, cooking and teaching skills, would definitely recommend to others that are interested in japanese and osaka cooking.
Had a great time being shown how and then making two of my favorite Japanese foods here in Osaka. Yayo was wonderful, and her home felt so warm and inviting. Looking forward to trying okonomiyaki back home on the Blackstone!
Authentic home style cooking experience with knowledgeable and welcoming host. Come learn more about this rich tradition and regional cuisines.
Loved the class!! Prompt pickup at class time with short walk to host's home. Lovely set up and menu. Enjoyed a private cooking experience, asking questions and learning about both local differences in food and traditions. Host Yayo made it special for my husband and I (food was delicious too!!) Would highly recommend!!
The location was a little out of the way in a quiet Osaka neighborhood. Highly recommend this cooking experience hosted by yayo in her home. We learned to make several traditional Osaka dishes that were delicious. Our host was so personable, and knowledgeable. We are going home with new recipes that we will cherish for years to come.
Best experience ever. Yoya was so kind and a fantastic host and teacher. Our dinner guests were so nice also and a pleasure to have had this experience with them
What can I say about Yayo? I have booked Yayo's cooking class COUNTLESS TIMES since 2023 for my clients (I'm a travel advisor). My clients always came back from Japan saying she was the best experience they had. When I went for my birthday in May 2026 I knew I had to experience her class for myself. She is worth EVERY single amazing review. She's funny, super patient and kind. She makes the class so special. Especially after telling her we had just gotten engaged. PLUS the food is out of this world delicious. I was eating Okonomikayi again for breakfast the next day lol. Thank you Yayo. You've made a special even better.
I had an amazing time with Yayo learning how to make okonomiyaki, miso soup, Taiyaki and Dashimaki. A great opportunity to learn more about Osaka cuisine !
My son and I took the cooking class ! It was in the instructors home ! She couldn't have been more nice and helpful we loved what we made . I highly recommend this experience !
The hostess was excellent about giving the history and differences of the 4 dishes we made. She was well organized and patient. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend.
