Review

"I now know what types of sake I like"

Momoko is super friendly and created a delightful experience for us. She is very knowledgeable about sake and provided an excellent tasting. I now know what types of sake I like and will be able to order more confidently at restaurants. The DIY takoyaki was tasty and a lot of fun. We’re sorely tempted to buy a takoyaki grill plate when we get home now. We’re so glad that we booked this activity!

"Hands down a must do in Osaka"

Momoko shares her passion for Japanese sake and takoyaki through a wonderful combined experience! You learn to make takoyaki following thorough detailed instructions. While you cook you get to learn about the intricacies of sake to help you figure out the sake that matches your preferences. Once the cooking is finished you get to start experiencing different sakes through a choose your own adventure approach with some helpful guidance from Momoko. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

"The best cooking class I’ve ever had"

This was an incredible experience! I’ve traveled the world (except Antarctica) and taken at least one cooking class in each country, but this one stands out as the best I’ve ever had. The Takoyaki was delicious and fun to make. The sake selection was fantastic, and Momo’s knowledge of the sake-making process and types was incredible. This is a must-do tour that’s well worth it! She is easy to talk to and an absolute pleasure! Thank you for making my Osaka stay so special!
