This was a really fun and...
This was a really fun and enjoyable cooking lesson! Everything was explained really well and I had a lot of fun making delicious Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki! And I am confident that I will be able to make Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki when I am home with the recipe that I was given

Excellent experience in Osaka
We are a mature couple from Canada. Asami taught us how to make okonomyaki and takoyaki. She was responsive to messages to help us find the place, a studio space great for a cooking class. All ingredients and appliances were prepared. We had a very pleasant experience learning from Asami. We even got to eat our dishes in comfort. Highly recommend!

Fantastic time and lovely teachers
It's actually set back from the road in flats. I had a great time as there were 2 other couple. The instructors were lovely. Good direction and well organised . To hey explained the process and all the ingredients. We made good looking otonomyyaki which also tasted great. I feel I can go home confident to cook this dish which is what I wanted. Thankyou so much

Want to come back!
We got really lucky as it was just the two of us who booked the experience on that given day any time. That being said, everything was very intimate, fun and interactive, and accommodating. The food was amazing as was the conversation.

Great food, great teacher, great experience
My wife and I both had a wonderful time. We greatly enjoyed the personal attention Washoku provided to us. We felt like old friends, if not family. The cooking instructions were easy to follow and the ingredients were well laid out and ready. Washoku was very helpful in assisting us with finding online shopping for most of the ingredients for once we're back home. The food we made (okonomiyaki & takoyaki) were delicious, if I do say so myself. Washoku was so nice, he even helped us book a sumo event for later that night. I highly recommend this class. Five stars.

A Must-Do Japanese Cooking Experience
We took part in an okonomiyaki and takoyaki cooking class and it was absolutely amazing! 😊 The atmosphere was super fun and friendly, we laughed a lot while learning. The instructors were incredibly kind, patient, and very skilled, taking the time to explain each step and share lots of great tips. And the result? Absolutely delicious! We enjoyed every bite. It’s a fun, tasty, and enriching experience that we highly recommend to everyone. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts… and the urge to recreate the recipes at home!

Friendly, fun and delicious
Fantastic hosts and teachers, Mimi-san and Nana-san provided a fun experience with delicious food and drinks! I can’t wait to make Okonomiyaki again at home
Y
Excellent cooking and learning
Mimi-san and Nana-san are awesome chefs. We will definitely cook this at home in San Francisco- okonomiyaki and takoyaki …and practice. They are great teachers, with patience and we learned more about the culture of cooking. An experience not to forget but to savor.
