Great Okonomiyaki and Matcha class experience to go with friends! - The experience was amazing! The woman was super kind and smiling anll the time and took really good care of us! Also they try to speak in English a little bit if you don’t know hoy to speak Japanese.
We cooked Okonomiyaki and did a matcha experience. She was very patience and cheered us at all times😊😊.
It was an amazing experience. I really recommend it!! It is a great plan if you want to go with friends and have a good time. There are many more experiences to do apart from the Okonomiyaki one!

I really felt submerged in the Japanese culture! - The whole experience was amazing and very engaging! We made okonomiyaki and had a tea ceremony and both were amazing and so delicious! 🥰
My friends and I had so much fun and the instructions were very easy to follow and remember for the future. The host speaks both Japanese and English which made it easy to follow.
Overall i would recommend this to anyone who wants to really submerge themselves in the Japanese culture and cuisine all together! 😜

Great cooking class - We booked an Okonomiyaki cooking class and were warmly welcomed by the owner and her colleague as we stood a bit lost on the road and didn't really know where to go.
After we introduced ourselves and put on a chef's apron, we also started preparing the okonomiyaki. Everything was explained and shown to us exactly and also addressed our diet (no meat but fish).
It was a wonderful experience. Those who want to practice and try their Japanese and learn about Japanese cuisine are in the right place.
Absolutely recommended if you are in Osaka 👍

A Must-Do Experience in Osaka – Perfect for Families! - Our Osaka cooking class with Ikuko and Takeru was one of the most memorable activities of our trip! From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed, and for a second, we forgot we were in a class—it felt like visiting a beloved Japanese aunt who was teaching us her cherished family recipes.
Our kids had an absolute blast! They were engaged, excited, and eager to learn, making this a fantastic hands-on experience for the whole family. Seeing their enthusiasm in the kitchen was truly heartwarming, and they left with a newfound love for cooking.
Ikuko and Takeru’s hospitality was unmatched. They patiently guided us through each step, shared interesting insights about Japanese cuisine, and made sure we felt at home. The food we made was delicious, but more than that, the experience itself was priceless.
If you're visiting Osaka, this cooking class is an absolute must. It’s not just about learning to cook—it's about making unforgettable memories!

Cultural Cooking Class + Sake Tasting - The best experience I have had across Asia. The host lady is a bundle of joy, wishing to interact as much as possible dispite her limited English -her son was there to help translate. We cooked takoyaki and were guided through each step of the cooking process beautifully, creating the best tasting takoyaki we have ever had. The host lady and her son created a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and we both learnt a lot about cooking and Japanese culture. A definate must do experience.

Homely cooking experience! -
Our cooking class with Ikuko and Takeru was more than just a culinary experience; it felt like a warm, home-cooked meal shared with friends. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, and the duo's easygoing nature made us feel right at home.
While the class was informal, the instruction was anything but. Ikuko were incredibly knowledgeable, patiently guiding us through each step of the cooking process. We learned not only about the recipes but also about Japanese culinary techniques and traditions.
We also sampled three different types of sake. Knowing the regions where they each come from. The workshop ended with learning to make our own matcha tea and properly enjoy it with the dessert the way the Japanese would do it.
If you're looking for a unique and authentic Japanese cooking experience, we highly recommend this class. It's a wonderful way to learn about Japanese cuisine, culture, and sake, all while having a lovely time with Ikuko and Takeru.
