Why you’ll love this…
  • The tour begins with a visit to a local supermarket where you'll learn about distinctive Japanese ingredients
  • You'll get creative with takoyaki fillings, a popular dish in Osaka
  • A hands-on cooking session allows you to create authentic izakaya-style small dishes
  • Savour sake, beer, or other beverages as you cook in a relaxed setting
  • Finally, learn how to make crispy takoyaki and succulent chicken, then relish your homemade banquet
What to expect

Kick-start your evening by rendezvousing with a friendly local guide at the agreed location. From there, stroll to a nearby supermarket brimming with Japanese groceries. Your guide will spotlight unique features and introduce you to intriguing, lesser-known ingredients.

Get inventive with takoyaki fillings—because in Osaka, the options are limitless. This enjoyable preparation sets the mood before proceeding to the snug cooking studio.

Don your provided apron and participate in a step-by-step cooking session, creating authentic izakaya-style small plates. Savour sake, beer, or other beverages as you chop, blend, and stir amidst the laid-back, homely vibe.

Taste early bites like Mugen Cabbage and Wasabi Tuna Salad, then sample three different Japanese sakes chosen to pair perfectly with your dishes.

For the grand finale, learn how to make crispy takoyaki and succulent chicken with green onion, mayo, and ponzu—a local favourite that mirrors teriyaki’s sweet-savoury taste. Enjoy your homemade banquet in a relaxed “taku-nomi” setting.

Before saying goodbye, download the day's recipes to replicate the experience and impress your friends with genuine Japanese flavours.
