Okonomiyaki cooking
Japanese tea and water (no limited)
Original recipe booklet
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 Osaka, the town of merchants,it is said that people tend to eat inspare moments from their work so that they earn more.There is a theory that dishes developed because of shortage of rice after the Civil war.
There are two styles of making Japanese pancake such as Osaka style and Hiroshima style.
In Osaka style, we mix the ingredients such as eggs, flour and other different toppings and fry the mixture on the pan. In Hiroshima style, ingredients are not mixed but layered. Each layer is put on top of each.Noodles are also put on in Hiroshima style. There is similar food in Tokyo called Monjyayaki.The taste of Monjayaki is similar to that of okonomiyaki. You can imagine that Monjayaki is a watery version of okonomiyaki.It’s as delicious as okonomiyaki despite the appearance that is different from Okonomiyaki.
You can make Osaka style okonomiyaki in this class.

★★★★★Our experience with Aya was so much fun! Not only did she teach us how to cook Okonomiyaki - but she also taught us history, suggested restaurants and shops to visit, talked with us about Japan, and her husband gave us his CD! Would absolutely recommend any experience with Aya :)
