This hands-on cooking experience offers a unique opportunity to learn how to make three of Japan's most beloved dishes in a single class: Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and Onigiri.
Guided by a local Osaka host, you'll not only learn authentic cooking techniques but also gain insight into the history and culture behind these iconic foods.
Unlike many cooking classes that focus on just one dish, this experience allows you to prepare and enjoy a complete Japanese meal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request, making the class accessible to a wide range of travelers.
After cooking, you'll enjoy your creations together with a complimentary non-alcoholic drink in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
