Experience Details

A classic street food hailing from Osaka, takoyaki has become a country-wide favorite, enjoyed on multiple occasions, from spring picnics to home parties.


Proving that the love for takoyaki extends beyond its city of origin, this cooking workshop in Nagoya will teach you how to perfect the art of making these flavorful takoyaki with friendly local hosts, with whom you’ll later share an authentic takoyaki party!


You’ll learn how to make this savory snack from scratch using traditional tools and equipment.


You’ll first make a batter with wheat flour, chopped octopus, tempura scraps, pickled ginger and green onion.


You’ll then learn how to transfer the batter to your takoyaki maker and shape it into their characteristic round shape.


After all your hard work, you’ll enjoy 10-15 pieces of takoyaki topped with a delicious sauce as part of a takoyaki party with your host.
