Hiroshima: Okonomiyaki Cooking Class with a Local Chef Private Tour

Learn how to make Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with a local chef. Choose from meat, seafood, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, and get hands-on with the chef’s guidance.
Immerse yourself in the flavors of Hiroshima with a hands-on okonomiyaki experience. Sit grill-side with a bilingual guide and a professional okonomiyaki chef, learning how this layered, savory pancake became a local staple.

Choose from four different versions, including meat, seafood, vegetarian, and a gluten-free option (available by request). If you want to try your hand at cooking, the chef will guide you step by step. If you’d rather just relax and eat, that’s totally fine too.

This is a small group experience at a real local restaurant, not a tourist trap, and you’ll leave full, happy, and maybe just a little proud of your creation.

Learn about the history and cultural relevance of okonomiyaki. Originally taking shape in the years after World War II when simple ingredients had to stretch far, the name means “grill it how you like,” and that mix-and-match flexibility is part of why it’s stayed popular for generations.

These days, it’s still found everywhere from hole-in-the-wall counters to specialty restaurants, served hot off the griddle, full of character, and always tied to local flavor and pride. It’s the kind of food that brings people together and sparks heated debates over which city does it best.

Osaka’s okonomiyaki gets a lot of love, but Hiroshima’s version does things its own way. Instead of tossing everything together, Hiroshima layers batter, cabbage, bean sprouts, noodles, meat or seafood, and a fried egg, cooking each piece carefully. It’s bigger, more detailed, and usually made right in front of you by chefs who really know their craft. Watching it come together is part of the fun. Eating it in Hiroshima, where this style is a local favorite, gives you a true taste of the city’s food culture.
