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.
In this cooking class, we will make Authentic Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba.
Okonomiyaki is famous as Osaka soul food!
There are many Okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka but ppl make Okonomiyaki often at home, too.
Let's enjoy making Home-style Okonomiyaki!
Hello! My name is Maya. I was born in Canada and raised in Osaka, Japan. I also had the chance to work at Disney World in Florida.
My grandmother owned a shabu-shabu restaurant, so I grew up surrounded by good food. That’s where my love for cooking and eating delicious meals comes from. I love traveling, trying authentic local food, and sharing those experiences with others. I’d love to bring a taste of Japanese home cooking to you.
I believe cooking and eating together with locals is one of the best ways to experience a culture. I have experience as an Airbnb host, and now I’m excited to welcome travelers to my home for a fun and friendly Japanese cooking class. Sometimes my mother or my sister also helps with the class, so you may get to cook with more of my family!
My place is easy to access, close to the Tanimachi Line, Sakaisuji Line, and the JR Tozai Line.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!

★★★★★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!
