Experience Details

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake consisting of batter, cabbage, and additional mix-ins like meat, seafood, and vegetables. It’s a fun hands-on activity for groups, and you can get creative with the additional add-ins. In this Kyoto Okonomiyaki Cooking Class, you can learn how to mix and flip okonomiyaki like a pro, then slather it in your favorite combinations of sauce, mayo, and ginger. Hot off the griddle, there’s nothing better than okonomiyaki! So bring your friends and family together around the iron teppan as your okonomiyaki sizzles away.


You can take photos together with your family and friends or your okonomiyaki! You won’t just make okonomiyaki in this class, you’ll also make wonderful memories and pick up the skills to make okonomiyaki in your own home, as well.

Experience Location

The bustling Downtown area of Kyoto is the heart of the city, loaded with hotels, artisanal shopfronts, specialty restaurants, and hidden bars. With pleasant surprises around every corner and alleyway, before the Kamo-gawa River to the east lies the beautiful old town architecture of Pontocho, nestled in alongside the local izakaya and lively club scene. The enormous Teramachi and Shinkyogoku shopping arcades run north to south, intersected by the famous Nishiki Markets (“Kyoto’s Kitchen”), while delicious department store basements bubble below with tasty regional samples.
