Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake, made with flour, eggs, shredded cabbage, meat and toppings as you like. This variability is reflected in the dish's name: "okonomi" literally means "to one's liking". You can eat it everywhere in Japan, but especially Okonomiyaki made Hiroshima style and Osaka style are the most famous.
Join me in my exclusive private home kitchen to cook Osaka’s famous soul foods and a beautiful Japanese dessert! Since this is a fully private experience, we will cook at your own comfortable pace—perfect for solo travelers, couples, or families. Learn how to easily recreate these authentic flavors back home.

Hi, I’m Maya! Born in Canada and raised in Osaka, I grew up surrounded by amazing food thanks to my grandmother, who owned a Shabu-Shabu restaurant.
I believe cooking with locals is the best way to experience a culture. As a former Airbnb host, I love welcoming travelers to my home for a fun, authentic cooking class. (Sometimes my mother or sister helps out, too!)
[ Great Location ]
My place is located in central Osaka, with easy access from the Tanimachi Line, Sakaisuji Line, and JR Tozai Line. It's very convenient for sightseeing!
[ Dining Note ]
After cooking, guests will enjoy their meal comfortably on their own.
Can't wait to meet you and share the taste of Japanese home cooking!

★★★★★The cooking workshop was great! It was well prepared, good to follow step by step instructions. Food was delicious and making the mochi with fruit was a really nice addition to the workshop. Arisa & Miya are great hosts, fun, have good communication skills and are very social. Definitely recommend the workshop

★★★★★We enjoyed our cooking experience with Arisa and Maya (and their little, cute dog). Not only did we make Okonomiyaki but also yaki soba and strawberry daifuku. Everything was organized and some ingredients prepared in advance. There was time to sit down and enjoy the meal and we were also treated to whisky/shochu beverage. There was too much to eat so we were given containers to take back to the hotel. Very enjoyable experience!
