Hiroshima cooking classes — okonomiyaki, hands-on
Hiroshima's soul food is a griddle skill — learn to layer okonomiyaki the local way, noodles and all, then eat your homework.
Cooking classes on GetYourGuide
Hands-on, then you eat what you make. The okonomiyaki class with a local chef runs about 2 hours: you build one Hiroshima okonomiyaki yourself, with a drink, and vegetarian or gluten-free builds are offered on request.

Take it early in the trip
Do the class on day one or two — you'll read every menu in Hiroshima differently once you know what goes into the food.
What do you cook in a Hiroshima class?
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, built layer by layer on a teppan: crêpe, cabbage, pork, noodles, egg. The okonomiyaki class with a local chef on GetYourGuide runs about 2 hours, you cook one okonomiyaki of your choice yourself, and a drink is included.
Do classes suit beginners and vegetarians?
Yes for beginners — nobody arrives knowing the layer order. The okonomiyaki class lists meat, seafood, vegetarian and gluten-free builds on request; ask about bonito and dashi, and flag allergies, when you book.
How far ahead should I book?
Classes run in small groups, so book once your dates are fixed. The GetYourGuide food tours we checked allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before; check the class listing for its own terms.
