I learned Japanese home cooking from Yayo, a Japanese home chef in Osaka, Japan! My family and I took a Japanese cooking class where we learned how to cook takoyaki, matcha, miso soup, okonomiyaki, dashiyaki (tamagoyaki), and taiyaki. Yayo taught us Japanese culture through food, and techniques to use when cooking these classic Japanese dishes at home. Let me know: which of these dishes have you tried already?

🍳 How many of these dishes have you already tried?? It was such a fun time cooking with my family, and Yayo was such a boss! We learned SO much from her. 🍣 Watch more Japan food videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtI73t4VoqdOz6g7qchmzdp…

I went to Osaka in the 2010s for a conference. One person in our group lived in Japan forward time and was our tour guide. We went to an izakaya where we had the Russian roulette takoyaki. 5 were normal ones, and 1 was stuffed full of Wasabi. I was the unfortunate soul who ate the Wasabi takoyaki. I love Wasabi, but the sheer amount of how much was in that tiny thing was overwhelming!

Taking a cooking class in Japan looks so fun! I remember trying my first okonomiyaki in Osaka at a restaurant and it was so good. The process looks so fun to make. Definitely want to book a cooking class on my next trip!

I def enjoy the sweeter tamago but would be open to trying the more savory version as well! 🙋🏻‍♂

Kinda sucks that you can't find it anywhere else; however, I think that is what makes it that much more special and perfect for tourism to the area because you can't get it anywhere but there 😉

Traditionnally, Taiyaki isn't supposed to be crispy. Sure, there are hanetsuki taiyaki places that are focused on givig that crispiness, yet you MUST throw away your American expectations and standards of everything being crispy when it comes to JP food especially taiyaki. Our definition of phenomenal taiyaki is usually focused on the quality of sweet red bean paste and how much you get it on the inside. Take bacon in Japan as another example, our definition of great bacon is sorely focused on the juiciness and the thickness instead of the crispiness and thinness you people from North America tend to focus on. It makes no senae for people from the West to review our food based on your standards 🤔 It's not the matter of good or bad; its just DIFFERENT.

I hate the fact that she never mentions the location and I had to go into the comments to effin find the place. You could have just dropped it in the description or mentioned the location
