Okonomiyaki
Yakisoba
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 class, you can learn how to cook Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba on the iron plate from my shop. You will definitely cook the same food that I serve to my customers. I hope you can take a cooking with me . I can guarantee to you that you will learn something new with a smile on your face. Let's enjoy cooking together!

★★★★★Yoshito was an absolute gentleman to my Mam and I for our Okonomoyaki cooking course. He picked us up from the station that morning as it was raining and drove us to his restaurant where he cooked an Okonomoyaki for himself as an example and then we both copied. We than got to sit an enjoy, it was the best Okonomoyaki we had tasted in all of Japan!! We then ended up spending the entire afternoon with him talking about life and travel and family over alot of Sake! Then Yoshito cooked us a delicious dinner that evening with one of this local friends for company over some more Sake. A truly authentic experience in Osaka. Try to book directly with Ichibantei Okonomoyaki Restaurant as we highly recommend

★★★★★My partner and I really enjoyed cooking okonomiyaki with Yoshito! He is a patient teacher and helped us practice so we could be proud of our super tasty okonomiyaki. He also cooked us some yakisoba. Everything was delicious, and it was a special experience chatting with Yoshito at his restaurant. He even went out of his way to drive us to the subway station afterwards. Thank you, Yoshito!

★★★★★Our family of four had a great cooking session at Yoshito's restaurant! My husband says the okonomiyaki is the best he has ever tasted and I loved the yakisoba. My sons cooked the okonomoyaki and we parents cooked the yakisoba. After we were done eating, Yoshito was kind enough to drive us to the train station as it was raining. Highly recommended! Mecha Oishi!

★★★★★Seriously this was the best cooking experience we have ever done. We highly recommend this class to anybody who wants to learn an authentic Japanese dish which is doable at home. Yoshito is a great Chef and owns a small, very traditional Okonomiyaki place. Don't expect a printed recipe, Yoshito has got all in his head, and he is very exact if it comes to ingredients, quantity and processing. However, he will explain everything step by step, so that we could write down his amazing Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba receipts, including some precious tips. He will show you how to prepare and cook it first, and then you can do it by yourself while Yoshito is taking a video of this :) You'll have enough leftovers to take out for the whole day. We had a really good time drinking beer with Yoshito and having conversations about cooking and cultural stuff. His English is very good and to be honest, he is just a great guy. Thanks Yoshito for this amazing experience!

Thanks for choosing my cooking class. I'm so glad that you both enjoyed it. You guys also have the passion for cooking. You can make okonomiyaki and yakusoba at the comfort of your home by just following what you've learned. If you guys happen to be in Osaka again, I'd be happy to see you. Good luck and enjoy your travel!

★★★★★We had a wonderful time with Yoshito today making okonomiyaki and yakisoba! And it was absolutely delicious!! Yoshito owns and runs an okonomiyaki shop all by himself and the lessons take place in a cute, quaint very Japanese restaurant and is a great setting for the class. He was a wonderful host who went above and beyond, including allowing us to take home anything we couldn’t finish eating. He also came and picked us up from the train station, though I’d recommend to future students that you communicate very specifically where exactly to meet so as to avoid any misunderstanding. I highly recommend Yoshito and his class :)

Thank you for your time !
I had a great time. I hope you enjoyed my class !
This was a first time to see the person from USA. So I was a little bit nervous at first. But it's easy to teach you cooking okonomiyaki, because you were approachable.
thanks a lot ! I am looking forward to seeing you again !
thanks !
