Join a hands-on takoyaki class in a cozy Japanese home.
From pouring the batter to flipping with bamboo sticks — you’ll make your own takoyaki from start to finish.
Sit back on tatami, try different toppings, and enjoy with tea and wagashi.
Step 1 Welcome & Introduction
First, please put on your apron-it comes with a name tag.
I’ll explain today’s schedule and help you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy the experience.
Sorry-I only speak Japanese! But don’t worry, I’ll be using a translation app to guide you through everything.
Step 2: Watch a Quick Takoyaki Tutorial
We’ll show you a short video on an iPad that explains the basic steps of how to cook takoyaki.
It’s just a quick overview so you can get the idea before we start.
Don’t worry—we’ll cook together with you, step by step.
But watching the video first makes everything smoother and easier to follow!
Step 3: Let’s Get the Ingredients Ready
Now we’ll take a look at the special ingredients we’ll be using today.
Please follow the steps shown in the video to set everything up.
Step 4 Let’s make takoyaki!
We’ll cook the takoyaki together at the same time, side by side.
You can watch how we do it and try it yourself right away-so don’t worry if it’s your first time.
Flipping them can be tricky, but it’s so satisfying when you get it just right!
Step 5 The Takoyaki Shuffle – Flip, Move, Repeat!
Alright, let’s start eating the ones that have turned a nice golden brown on the surface.
Move the softer ones into hotter spots to make them extra crispy.
This playful flipping and swapping – we call it the **Takoyaki Shuffle.**
It’s one of the most fun parts of home-style takoyaki making!
You’ll be cooking two rounds – eight takoyaki each time!
Step 6 Take a Break with Uji-cha & Wagashi
After your takoyaki, take a relaxing break with a traditional wagashi (Japanese sweet) and a cup of Uji-cha,a premium green tea from Kyoto.
This calm moment is part of the experience—a taste of warm Japanese hospitality at home.
The type of wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) we serve may vary depending on the day.
Please let us know in advance if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, as ingredients may differ each time.
