Itinerary

Do you know what takoyaki is? Here, you can experience grilling and eating takoyaki yourself! Takoyaki is made by pouring flour batter made from water and eggs into a round hole in a griddle, then placing a chopped octopus inside and grilling it into a round shape. The finished takoyaki is placed on a plate and served hot and delicious. The basic style of takoyaki is to dip it in dried bonito flakes, aonori (green laver), sauce, or mayonnaise. Takoyaki is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Takoyaki is easy to eat and goes well with beer. The takoyaki experience ends when you finish eating. The experience takes about one hour. *Please inform the staff of your reservation for the experience when you come to the restaurant. ＊If a staff member who is not fluent in English is responding, we will use a translation machine.

The introductions are very easy and clear. They show you step by step, how to make takoyaki, even in English. There are many teachers, so each pair has somebody to explain.

Fun experience, 100 % recommended

Worth every penny

I recently took a takoyaki-making class, and it was an incredible experience! The class was well-structured and super informative, walking us through everything from the history of takoyaki to the little tricks that make it perfect. The instructor was engaging and made sure everyone could follow along easily. The takoyaki we made was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the tips shared during the class made all the difference in achieving that perfect texture and flavor. The hands-on practice flipping the takoyaki was a fun challenge, and by the end, I felt confident in recreating it at home. If you’re looking for a unique and tasty experience, I highly recommend this class. It’s the perfect way to learn a new skill and enjoy some amazing food!

Awesome experience!
