"KANSAI" style OKONOMIYAKI and Yaki UDON(stir-fried Udon)
•Okonomiyaki
•Yaki Udon
•Desert
Udon (うどん) is a type of thick wheat flour noodle. It is similar to Italian pasta, but much thicker. It has been eaten all over Japan as an easy-to-eat popular meal, and a substitute meal for rice dishes. Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.
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.

★★★★★Best experience in Japan! What a beautiful warm host. We asked so many questions to understand Japanese life and culture and Minori was so happy to answer. We felt so much apart of her home. It was a night of delicious food, laughs and sweetness. Unforgettable. When we return to Japan, I will make sure to catch up with Minori again and do another cooking class. I can’t wait to cook for family members back in Australia with the skills we now have.

Thank you so much for inviting us to your house and to teach us how to prepare a traditional okonomijaki and jaki udon - it was just delicious and we will try it now at home :) I can highly recommend the cooking session with Minori and wouldn't miss this experience during our Japan travels.

★★★★★Minori picked us up at the station with her car and brought us to her cafe, which she runs during the day. She taught us how to make okonomiyaki and we really enjoyed it. Afterwards she told us, that it’s common to also fry some yakiudon with soy sauce powder on the same stove, so we also enjoyed this. Last but not least we ate some shaved ice called „kakigori“, which was prepared by Minori. We can recommend this cooking class to everyone, since Minori was a lovely person!
