Takoyaki Cooking Class and Sake Tasting in Osaka

Taste your way through Osaka with Momoko, a certified sake sommelier with experience working at a sake brewery. Sample a range of sake, learn how it is made, and discover how it pairs with Osaka’s beloved takoyaki. Then make your own takoyaki and enjoy it fresh with sparkling sake, followed by a unique sake dessert of ice cream topped with Japanese sake. The experience takes place in a cozy studio kitchen, where Momoko shares her knowledge of sake and Osaka's food culture in a relaxed, welcoming setting. You’ll learn about the ingredients and techniques behind takoyaki before cooking your own using a traditional takoyaki pan. Once you start cooking, shape the takoyaki as it turns golden and crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. Add your favorite toppings and sauces to make it your own, then sit down and enjoy it with your sake tasting. Throughout the experience, Momoko will introduce the basics of sake, from its history and production to the different flavors you may encounter. Her brewery experience adds a personal touch, giving you a chance to learn about sake from someone who has seen the brewing process firsthand. Guests under 20 can also join with a non-alcoholic option, so everyone can take part in the cooking and dining experience.
