Experience Details
Join a local cooking class in Hiroshima to learn how to make the city's beloved soul food: okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake made with pork, eggs, cabbage, and wheat flour.
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. Learn how to cook on a teppanyaki grill and see how simple this delicious dish is to replicate. Unlike Osaka-style okonomiyaki, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is made by layering ingredients instead of mixing them together. Don’t forget to pile on the toppings!
After savoring your savory creation, the culinary adventure continues with a traditional Japanese sweet. You'll have the opportunity to make warabimochi, a delightful confection that is a perfect complement to a bowl of matcha.
Takako will show you the art of making a rich bowl of matcha to enjoy alongside your handmade sweets. The combination of matcha and traditional Japanese sweets provides a harmonious balance of flavors.
