Osaka Okonomiyaki Cooking Experience!

A wonderful cooking experience in Osaka. Keiko was incredibly welcoming, enthusiastic, and made the whole class feel relaxed and personal. We had a great time learning to make okonomiyaki, and of course eating it afterwards! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fun, hands-on way to experience a bit of Japanese food culture.

Absolute A plus. Such a personal and rewarding experience. The small gift from the mother of our host was unforgettable. Would do this again any time I come back to japan

This experience was incredible. Our instructor was so kind and we had so much fun! She taught us enough about how to cook okonomiyaki that we were able to make it when we got home.

Keiko’s class was a delicious way to learn about Osaka and its food. She’s a great teacher and very fun. The class was hands on and the okanmayaki was amazing. We’ll try making this at home. Take this class-you’ll love it,

Such a great experience. Keiko was very engaging and informative. We learnt about the Japanese cooking styles. Thoroughly enjoyed our cooking session. The instructors were very helpful and great to eat our food.

Such a Great experience, Keiko, her assistant and mother where a pleasure to learn from. They spoke great English so understanding eachother was a plus! Keiko reached out to us prior and asked about food restrictions or dietary restrictions. She was able to accommodate my vegan diet which I was super happy because one of the main ingredients in Okonomiyaki is eggs. The replacement was a particular Japanese potato that worked great as a binder. Her mother gifted us with a little handmade purse made out of kimonos. A very heartfelt moment learning about how food brings people together. We both enjoyed this class and will be practicing what we learned at home. Okonomiyaki is very tasty and versatile. It can be made exactly to your personal liking! I highly recommend giving this class a try!

Keiko was an amazing host and it was great to experience with other Osaka locals and international travelers. My daughter and I had a great time and they even accommodated our vegetarian diet. I loved learning more about okonomoyaki and getting to make such a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Osaka.

Fantastic cooking class Keiko was delightful knowledgable and fun We learnt Japanese cooking skills and had all the recipes shared with us

Great course to learn how to cook okonomiyaki and have a conversation about food. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely class! Keiko was a great teacher and all her friends were so lovely. We made delicious Okonomiyaki and also had some miso soup and mochi for dessert. It was very enjoyable to speak with some locals and learn more about Okonomiyaki. Everyone was so lovely which made the experience so fun. You also get sent the recipe so you can try at home! ありがとうございます!

Keiko delightfully combines the opportunity to learn to cook okonomoyaki with the opportunity to work and chat together with locals. And the results of the afternoon are absolutely delicious!

They are so kind and the okonomiyaki is very good! I enjoyed learning about the history and how to adapt it to make at home, and had very good conversation. Definitely recommend!

Today we did the okonomiyaki making class with Keiko and made some delicious okonomiyaki!! We had some great conversations about Osaka and the Osaka dialect, as well as learning about the different kinds of okonomiyaki and how to make them your own. Since we are from Australia, we also taught them about some Australian slang. We had a great time and would highly recommend this experience to anyone!!! If you are thinking about booking, just book! You will have no regrets.

It was a wonderful evening in Osaka, we had just arrived from a busy Tokyo, in need for some calm action. It was a great exchange of knowledge, we got taught how to make a lovely okonomiyaki by our lovely Osaka ladies and they got to to practice their English. Would recommend even to my enemies.

An essential family experience to learn about the culture of local Osaka people. Keiko-san was a wonderfully patient host, who guided us through the process of making Osaka-style okonomiyaki. I will definitely be trying to make it at home. She was very flexible with dietary requirements. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the experience was meeting some other local Osaka people who were wanting to practice their English, while we fumbled in Japanese. I highly recommend this experience for any food lovers.

We had such a brilliant time learning to cook okonomiyaki with Keiko and her friends. We were treated with warmth and kindness, and really appreciated the opportunity to practice our Japanese alongside our cooking skills. We couldn't recommend this experience enough if you are looking for an authentic, friendly cooking class.

It's not just cooking but fun talking to Keiko, and interacting with Sachiko. I love the fact that it's a language centre as well - great opportunities to learn from locals and share overseas experiences. Relaxed atmosphere and we really enjoyed cooking class! If you love these Kimono aprons don't forget to ask & buy one - they focus on the class and communication, but there are souvenirs you can purchase here!

Fantastic cooking class with Keiko and her mum! They were so lovely, and generous with their expertise and insights. This was a perfect rainy day activity and we look forward to cooking okonomiyaki at home.

One of the coolest things you can do in a new country is learn how to cook their well-known dishes. This was such a cool experience as I learned the history of okonomiyaki and the cool variations that different cities have for this fun dish.

A delightful, friendly, well organised cultural experience - a highlight of our trip to Osaka. Keiko and her mother were very welcoming, cooking was fun and the food was delicious. Loved the aprons made from kimono material. Highly recommend.

Do not pass up this class!!! Keiko & her mother were amazing teachers. Most importantly they were so personable; Just beautiful people. And the okonomiyaki we made were incredible!!

We had such a nice afternoon! Keiko and her mom were so sweet and welcoming. They showed us how to make Okonomiyaki and Miso soup and answered all our questions. They were also interested in our culture and what local ingredients we will use for our Okonomiyaki at home. The food was delicious and we felt very "at home" thanks to them. Keikos mom even gave us handmade gifts. If you like Okonomiyaki and Miso soup, we definitely recommend taking lessons from Keiko. :)

Keiko was a wonderful host who provided us a really fun and easy cooking experience and cultural exchange with the other participants. We loved learning to cook Okonomiyaki and its history, we even managed to make it pretty well and tasted great. Thankyou Keiko

What a great time! It ended up tasting good and gave even me some confidence that I could make it. I do speak Japanese, but the instructors followed up in English for anything that wasn't clicking

Keiko was amazing she spoke English very well and even had a book on okinomoyaki. We learned about the history of okinomoyaki and our family of 4 (including an 8 and 11 year old) all made the dish. It was a blast and it was delicious! Keiko was so patient and the experience was fantastic.

Outstanding doesn’t begin to describe our experience, Keiko was an amazing teacher, very welcoming and great English, she was very helpful and informative, we had a wonderful time and learnt a lot about the art of okonomiyaki! It was delicious too! the facility was easy to find and very clean & tidy too, would recommend to anyone with only a day in Osaka.

This cooking class was very well done. Great help and instructions on making the Okonomiyaki I would recommend this class to anyone I however have not yet received my recipe and would love to have this to make at home now I’m back

Keiko-san, Naomi, and Keiko-san’s mother were wonderful teachers. I learnt so much about how to create my own okonomiyaki and the entire class was engaging, clear, and fun. I highly recommend this class. Thank you so much!

Great informative class, really fun and social so great to do on your own as well as with others. Really lovely that you all sit down together to eat afterwards and some lovely extras that weren't expected.

Keiko leads you expertly in homestyle okonomiyaki, which is one of my favourite Japanese foods! I was happy to learn about the history and all the different ingredients, and also enjoyed the mochi dessert at the end. Come hungry! You will leave full :)

Great class. Keiko explained about the different types and ingredients and then we jumped in. She and her assistant helped us through the cooking process. Also had miso soup and mochi dessert. Friendly, social, and tasty. Mom sewed the aprons and cute souvenir bags!

Great way to enjoy Osaka’s famous savory pancakes! Small class size, personal attention, plenty of equipment and ingredients for hands on experience. Recipe was easy to follow. Our instructor Keiko was very friendly and fun. Her mom sewed the aprons we all wore and gave everyone a small bag made from used kimonos. What a nice treat. This was a great way to meet some local people and enjoy a casual low key night out. Would highly recommend.

Great cooking time with fabulous host, Keiko. We appreciated the time we spent together in a wonderful company!

Great class, Keiko and her friends and family made this an educational and engaging experience. Looking forward to trying to recreate at home.

Was a lovely experience! Keiko did a great job of showing the history of okonomiyaki, and her assistants were also very fun to talk to. I was the only student for that day, so it was nice to chat with the ladies. Keiko even gave me a free gift, which was a small tote bag that her mother made! Highly recommend, especially if you are interested in learning more about Osaka-style okonomiyaki.

Great cooking class, Keiko the host was really nice and we made great okonomiyaki! It was a really cool way to learn more about Osaka's culture.

Small interactive class. Well paced. Easy to get to by taxi. Good hands-on experience led by very experienced person with good English communication.

Do not miss this opportunity! What a fun experience. And I feel like I can make okonoki yaki when I get home! Great teacher and so nice to meet other people from all over the world. Keiko is a delight. Her assistant and good friend is wonderful. And by the way, beer pairs perfectly with okonomi yaki and we were allowed to go next door to grab a beer. Thank you Keiko!

Keiko and friends created a lovely combination of a cookery lesson, a social event, an alternative to dining out and an introduction to local friends from Osaka. The Okonomiyaki were delicious, her preparations was immaculate and all communication prior the experience was effective and prompt. A great evening!!

Keiko and her team were phenomenal! They taught us about the food we were preparing, and Keiko was engaging, funny, and a joy to be around! It was such an easy meal to make, delicious to eat, and something we can do at home! Keiko and her team made us feel right at home in Osaka! We will definitely recommend this experience to anyone who visits Osaka and will come back again the next time we are here! Thank you, Keiko!

It was a great and tasty experience. Keiko is a wonderful host and gave us lots of tips and tricks. The group was a good size (8 people) and from different parts of the world. The venue is easy to find. I would highly recommend this cooking experience!

My husband and I took part in the Okonomiyaki class by Keiko, we were celebrating our honeymoon as well. Keiko and her colleagues were really kind and friendly, we had an amazing time, enjoying and learning how to cook Okonomiyaki. The amount of people was perfect, not a big a class so we could interact with eachother, share moments. It was really fun, well organised and tasty 😋. Thank you very much Keiko, hope to see you again. Maria from Spain 😊

Keiko was a great teacher with very helpful tips for cooking okononmiyaki at home. Very well organised and the results were yummy!

The cooking experience was totally awesome…Keiko (master okonomiyaki chef) and Sachiko were extremely helpful. We’re so happy to have taken this cooking lesson and we look forward to making our own okonomiyaki when we get back home. Mahalo from Hawaii!

The experience was lovely Keiko explained how to prepare this delicious japanese dish in the best way and with all the information that we needed It was a piece of culture that we could make part of it by doing the okonomiyaki. One of the best experiences that I had through my trip to Japan

We had a great time with Keiko learning about and making our own Okonomiyaki. Both Keiko and her mother were incredibly accommodating and taught us about traditional fillings while ensuring that we had a hands on experience, choosing our own fillings to make the Okonomiyaki to our liking. Would highly recommend this experience to anybody visiting Osaka.

We thoroughly enjoyed the okonomiyaki cooking experience. The ladies hosting the program are beautiful souls who took pleasure in sharing their culture and cuisine. We left confident we can recreate this classic dish at home. Highly recommend

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Keiko. We learned how to cook Okonomiyaki Osaka style and learned the differences from Hiroshima style. Through the cooking process we learned it's importance in everyday Japanese family life, in ways that might surprise you. Keiko was prepared, clear and organized in her teaching. She presented many options for making the dish to suit anyone's eating requirements, including vegans. You participate in the process and make your own food, all included. It is a very relaxed class and you can ask all your questions. She is assisted by her mother, which tops off the very warm experience that takes place in a hotel's breakfast room. We then sat and are our creations and chatted about Japanese life. After thr experience Keiko sent us written information on how to make Okonomiyaki which allowed us to be engaged during the experience without taking notes. Highly recommend this experience.

Had a wonderful and informative discussion with Keiko who was our instructor. Keiko has very strong English skills and shared with us the history of Okonomiyaka and how the various regions do it slightly different. It was a great lesson followed by eating the product of our own making. Highly recommend.
