    A fun cooking experience
    Andrew_H, Apr 2024
    We had a great time learning about, and cooking okonomiyaki. Our host was excellent. She spoke English very well and explained the history, and regional differences of this super tasty dish. You’ll get to meet people from around the world and cook together, then eat together. Also, if you want a safe place to practice your Japanese - this is it.

    Cooking Lesson thats Easy to do Back Home
    Jennilee_S, Mar 2024
    This was a fun experience for my partner and I to meet a few locals who wanted to share their experience and knowledge with making okonomiyaki. I enjoyed the class alot. Instructions were easy to follow. I can easily bring this lesson back home and cook for myself and others during parties. I enjoyed learning from them as well as helping the locals practice their english too. Would definitely take another cooking class with Keiko if I could. Highly recommend.

    Cultures Unite over Okonomiyaki
    Suzanne_C, Mar 2024
    Late on our tour to Japan, we booked this class with Keiko....what a joyful experience it was. One Kiwi, one Aussie, one Englishman, a family of 3 from Singapore and a Japanese lady from Himeji. Along with Keiko and her team, not only did we learn to cook the wonderful Okonomiyaki but we also explored different ideas for what to include in future based on what is popular in each of the countries.

    One of the most memorable moments of my trip to Osaka
    Elizabeth_P, Jan 2024
    Keiko is the welcoming, personable, and extremely knowledgeable about making awesome okonomiyaki! I enjoyed the experience immensely - easily one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Osaka, and a dish I hope to make in my home country. Keiko's generous and friendly spirit made the entire class feel at ease - as a result, everyone had a great time as we enjoyed our okonomiyaki together. Do not hesitate to sign up! I would do this class again in a heartbeat :)
