Takoyaki is very cute, small battered balls containing octopus. When you visit Osaka, you can see Takoyaki shops and people wandering the streets while eating it.
Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
Japanese popular alcoholic drink must be Sake, or called Nihonshu, made from fermented rice. The foundation of good sake is quality rice, clean water, koji mold and yeast. Premium sake differentiates itself in quality of ingredients and production process, so that flavors ranges light and crisp to richer, fruity notes.
The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
In this class, I actually make takoyaki and eat it. In addition, I will make egg rolled egg and miso soup. You can make Takoyaki with your favorite ingredients. Takoyaki can be put in soup and eat like a soup. Dashi roll eggs are delicious hot. Ideal as a winter menu. And it is a course that you can enjoy easily. This class takes place in my kitchen and dining room so you can relax and enjoy cooking with homelike atmosphere. Get a lot of tips so that you can recreate after getting back home.
Please do not lose to Konamon museum, enjoy the most tasty hot Takoyaki ever!

Thank you for your review and for visiting me. Takoyaki is easy, but the arrangements are profound. There was an opportunity with a fluent Japanese conversation. Good luck♬

★★★★★Thank you so much Yuko - we loved our cooking class with you. Our first time to Japan and this was a great thing to do. You took us to the beautiful temple first which was a lovely surprise and we really appreciated that. Afterwards learning to make Takoyaki (vegan version) was really interesting. We’d never tried Konjac before so that was great. We chose this dish because it was a Osaka special and we hope to go back home and try to make (though we will need to buy the pan first) Your hospitality was lovely - you were very friendly towards us. Thank you
