Under the guidance of Takako, a home cooking expert with years of experience running cooking classes in Hiroshima, you'll master the art of crafting this iconic regional specialty. Takako's expertise ensures an authentic and enjoyable experience as you discover the secrets of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.
