Takoyaki Cooking Class

Class Description

Takoyaki is the dish that changed Joe Kimura's life. It is the dish that made him leave Gordon Ramsay's and dedicate the rest of his career to Japanese food and culture. Needless to say, this dish truly is one of a kind, and it must be experienced to know what it's all about! Mouth watering chunks of steamed octopus are griddled in a dashi based crispy batter with ginger and scallions, and topped with a secret sauce and mayonaise. Not to forget the dancing fish on top! The dish is a must try. Before the class you will receive the list of ingredients and equipment needed for the class.
