Osaka 御好燒 美食體驗

Our teacher and translator were fun and encouraging as they taught us how to make gluten free takoyaki and okonomiyaki. They prepped all the ingredients, which were fresh and high quality. All the kitchen equipment were very nice and the facilities were excellent. If you have the chance, do take this class. It’s fun and rewarding to learn how to make these two delicious street food with gluten free ingredients.

What a wonderful food tour! Gil, our guide had deep knowledge of all the hidden gems, stories of the locations and the food and people were great! Would highly recommend Gil and byfood for the wonderful experience!

We had a very good experience with our guide Shoko. She was so patient, friendly & accomodating, letting us adjust the itinerary to our needs & preferences. The tour itself was fun, using the subway to get around & trying out Osaka specialities. A wonderful time!

Yoko-sensei guided us on the short walk from the meeting point to their kitchen where we learnt many interesting things about the ingredients and dishes as we prepared them. Will have happy memories when cooking the dishes at home using the knowledge and techniques learnt during the evening.

I enjoyed a wonderful tour and tasted some delicious dishes from Osaka. The host did a great job, Thank you for this wonderful experience. I will recommend your channel and your tours to other people traveling to japan.

We highly recommend this tour! With Diego we had the best tour guide: he was so kind and friendly, so knowledgeable about Japan’s culture and history. We had the best time and also we had lots of yummy food and a really authentic Okonomiyake Lunch. Thank you Diego!! Do this tour, perfect to explore Osaka with a local 💖

We really enjoyed cooking our own okonomiyaki and takoyaki using gluten-free ingredients, which made this experience both enjoyable and inclusive. It was our first time cooking gluten-free Japanese food, and the ingredient substitutions worked very well. The instructor was patient, enthusiastic, and attentive, always making sure we followed the steps correctly and helping us whenever we struggled. For more complicated steps, such as pouring the takoyaki batter into the pan, a short demonstration or video with English subtitles would be helpful. Cooking together was a great way to learn about Japanese culture beyond sightseeing. This experience is especially recommended for families or groups of friends looking for a fun, memorable activity to share and remember after returning home.

This was a fun and hands-on cooking experience where we were able to prepare Japanese food ourselves using gluten-free ingredients, which is not easy to find. Although we had made okonomiyaki before, trying takoyaki for the first time was especially enjoyable and memorable. The instructor and translator were very supportive, approachable, and patient, helping us understand each step clearly and making us feel comfortable throughout the class. The cooking room was well equipped, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. A short demonstration or video at the beginning, along with a brief explanation of the ingredients and food background, would make the experience even easier to follow. Overall, it’s a great option for travelers looking for an interactive, inclusive cooking experience in Japan.

What a wonderful way to end our first trip to Japan!! Yoko is a wonderfully talented host, her knowledge of Japanese cuisine is extensive AND she is super friendly, genuine and down to earth. Oh and the cooking class is fun and you enjoy a delicious meal!! A perfect way to spend a quiet evening in Osaka.

We had an amazing time. There were so many delicious food options many we would have not ordered ourselves if not for the tour. Our guide Tomoki made the tour. He was so friendly and really gave us an idea of the Osaka culture.

Our food tour with lovely guide Sue was perfect! We could taste all famous dishes from Osaka!

Yoko was very knowledgeable and taught us so much more than just how to make the dishes.
