The highlight of our stay in Osaka

5.00Our takoyaki and sake experience was an absolute highlight of our trip to Osaka. Momo went out of her way to provide gluten-free takoyaki ingredients (we let her know in advance), and it was delicious. Momo was incredibly knowledgeable about sake, too. Thanks for a fantastic experience, Momo!

A Must Do for any Foodie with an Interest in Sake

5.00This experience far exceeded expectations. Momoko is a certified sake sommelier and this evening gives you a basic primer on sake to arm you for your next trip to a sushi restaurant or izakaya. I cannot recommend it enough for any foodie. Momoko is incredibly knowledgeable, but more than that, genuinely entertaining. The takoyaki cooking, admittedly, was not my purpose in signing up for the experience, but it was an absolute delight. One of my favorite viator bookings. I recommend it unreservedly.

5.00Very informative and enjoyable experience. Takoyaki and sake were all delicious. I now want to buy a takoyaki pan when I get home. An overall great experience thanks to Momo being a wonderful host and teacher.

5.00This was the best interactive hands-on experience ever! Momo has extensive background in sake making so she really explained different types of sake in detail . She had printed sake information posted on the walls to aid in understanding and remembering (for us seniors), and step-by-step recipe for takoyaki. The event was very organized and Momo truly made this a FUN time! Now all I have to do is purchase a takoyaki grill and have a takoyaki party at home! A big mahalo to Momo!

5.00We had such a great time doing this class! I would highly recommend this activity for your Osaka adventure. It’s so nice being able to connect with a local, especially one who is a sake and takoyaki expert. 10 stars!

5.00We love how friendly Momoko-san was and it made it less daunting. It was our first day in Japan and it really set the mood for a great time for the rest of the upcoming trip. We also got to learn about the differences in Nihonshu (so many!!) and what our preferred drink would be if we were to order some. The experience, in my opinion, is a must! Great food, great vibe, great drinks, even greater host!!
