I really enjoyed my experience with Momo. She is a really cheerful person, she knows a lot about sake and we can clearly see that she is passionate about it. During this class, I made several Takoyaki with different toppings and been able to taste 7 differents sake (hot or cold, "polished" or not, fruity or not, I will let Momo explain you everything about that). The room where we tasted and cooked is very functional and stylish in my opinion. I highly recommend you this experience ! PS : Momo speaks super well English 👏 (not like me)

This was one of the very best experiences we've ever booked! Momoko was definitely our favorite host/guide we encountered in Japan. She's a great teacher and clearly very passionate about sake (she's a sake sommelier!). We had a fun time learning more about sake and how to make takoyaki. Both the sake and home-made takoyaki were excellent as well, and we had plenty to eat and drink. Overall, we really enjoyed spending the evening with Momoko and would highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Osaka. We will certainly be back the next time we return to Japan!

What to Expect in a Takoyaki Cooking Class

In a typical Takoyaki casual cooking class, you’ll start by getting acquainted with the essential ingredients and tools needed to create this Japanese favorite. You'll receive step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the perfect batter and mix in savory fillings like chopped octopus. Enthusiastic instructors will demonstrate cooking techniques to ensure that your Takoyaki is round, soft on the inside, and tantalizing crispy on the outside.

In addition to mastering the art of cooking, you’ll learn the proper way of using a Takoyaki pan, which is a specialized non-stick griddle with half-spherical molds. You will gain hands-on experience in turning the batter deftly with skewers to form those lovely, rounded shapes. Feel the excitement as you watch your creations turn golden brown, preparing to be savored with a drizzle of thick, sweet-savory Takoyaki sauce, a sprinkle of aonori seaweed, and a generous serving of Japanese mayonnaise.
