• Okonomiyaki

  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.

All cooking classes by Yuka

I'm a cooking expert and instructor specializing in healthy Japanese cuisine, teaching in English.
In 2023 & 2024, I conducted cooking workshops in 9 countries in Oceania, Asia and Europe.

I usually host classes at home in the peaceful and cozy Oyamadai neighborhood, located just a 20-minute train ride from Shibuya, Tokyo.

In the class, I teach Japanese cooking skills and seasonal menus using fresh seasonal vegetables (mostly organic or pesticide-free), traditional Japanese seasonings and additive-free products.
I also focus on classes for people with dietary restrictions, such as vegans and gluten-free people, so that everyone can enjoy their meals together.

In the past, I had many dietary restrictions such as wheat, milk, eggs. I also supported foreign colleagues with food allergies and religious dietary needs.
During those times, When I traveled abroad, people were so nice and made sure I had something to eat. I'll never forget that, so I wanted to do the same for foreigners here in Japan.

Since then, I have studied various healthy cooking methods, including medicinal cuisine, macrobiotics, Shojin cuisine, and also explored gluten-free cooking. After that, I developed and supervised healthy menus at an organic cafe and a grocery store. Now, while teaching cooking, I am researching healthy cuisine that can be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds.

I am happy to arrange food according to your request, and looking forward to sharing our food culture with you.

I had the most amazing time learning how to make gluten-free okonomiyaki with Yuka ! She's a very good cook, but above all, she's extremely attentive to everyone's diet and the quality of the ingredients she cooks. She has welcomed with open arms and taught me a lot about the Japanese way of Life. I booked four classes with Yuka and also highly recommend the Shojin Ryori class :)
