Do you love Japanese food and want to recreate it at home?
Join me for a fun and interactive online cooking class where you'll learn how to make authentic Japanese okonomiyaki, one of Japan's most popular comfort foods.
I'm Chiaki, a certified Japanese language teacher from Kobe, Japan. I teach Japanese language online and also welcome international guests into my kitchen in Japan to learn authentic Japanese home cooking. I love sharing Japanese food and culture through hands-on cooking experiences.
In this class, you'll learn how to:
  • Learn easy Japanese phrases and discover Japanese culture
  • Make authentic Japanese okonomiyaki from scratch
  • Prepare delicious toppings and sauces
  • Create a crispy outside and fluffy inside every time
You'll also discover how easy it is to customise okonomiyaki with your favourite ingredients.
You'll even learn fun Japanese expressions like 「いただきます!」(Itadakimasu) and 「おいしい!」(Oishii) while we cook together.
Dietary-friendly options available
Traditional okonomiyaki is usually made with wheat flour and eggs. However, I can also provide a gluten-free recipe using rice flour and an egg-free version, making this class suitable for a wide range of dietary needs.
All ingredients are easy to find in Australia, and I'll send you a shopping list before the class, along with simple substitutions if needed.
Everyone is welcome!
I teach in both English and Japanese, so beginners are very welcome! Whether you're new to cooking or Japanese, I'll guide you step by step in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Come and enjoy a fun cooking experience while discovering the flavours, language, and culture of Japan!
Knowledge required
No prior experience is required. It's perfect for beginners and those interested in Japanese food and conversations.
What to bring
You will need to have all the ingredients and equipment ready to go in your kitchen. A full of recipe and shopping list will be sent to you after booking.

にほんごをはなしながら、りょうりをしませんか?
こんにちは!(Konnichiwa!)
Hi! I’m Chiaki — a certified Japanese language teacher and passionate home cook, based in Kobe, Japan. In my online class, you can enjoy learning Japanese through hands-on cooking lessons — directly from Japan!
The theme is “Japanese language learning × Japanese home cooking.”
You’ll learn words like 「おいしい!」(Oishii! = Delicious!), 「これはなんですか?」(Kore wa nan desu ka? = What is this?), and even how to say 「いただきます」(Itadakimasu = Let’s eat) before meals.
Most dishes are plant-based and gentle on the body, but sometimes I include eggs or fish depending on the menu. (Vegan-friendly) options are available — just let me know in advance!
My English is at an intermediate level, but I’m full of passion! I speak mostly in やさしいにほんご (easy Japanese), and I support you in English when needed. Even beginners are very welcome — I speak slowly and clearly to help you feel comfortable.
I live in Kobe (こうべ) near Osaka, Japan, and the time difference between Japan and Australia is only about one hour, so it’s easy to schedule lessons that work for you!
Do you like Japan?にほんはすきですか?
If you’re interested in Japanese language, food, and culture, I’d love to connect with you from Kobe.
Let’s enjoy cooking and learning Japanese together — いっしょに たのしみましょう!
