~~~ Best of the Best 2023 Award Winner! Thank you!!~~~

Okonomiyaki and Gyoza are becoming a lot more famous overseas. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese-style savory pancake. “Okonomi” means “As-you-like-it” and “Yaki” means to “cook/stir-fry/grill”. In this class, we will make a Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki which has a layer of vegetables, dried ingredients, pork and egg noodles. It’s so much fun to flip several times with using special kitchen tools. Gyoza is a dumpling with minced pork and vegetable stuffing. You will learn the secrets how to make crispy Gyoza. Enjoy Okonomiyaki and Gyoza!

We had a wonderful time at Yuca’s cooking class! She is so warm and friendly, and we learned how to make delicious gyoza and ramen. My 10 year old son also participated in the class and he loved it. The class is in Yuca’s home, in a residential neighborhood, so that was a fun aspect as well.
Don’t leave Japan without visiting YUCa’s kitchen!

YUCa’s cooking class is more than just learning to make gyoza: it effortlessly blends cultural connection with a delicious interactive cooking experience. From the small group instruction to the guided trip to the local grocery store, this class gives you an intimate peek into Japanese daily life as experienced through the lens of food. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, signing up for a class like this is a must do. After days of walking 20k steps through the tourist laden streets of Shinjuku and Shibuya, do yourself a favor and spend a quiet morning cooking Japanese comfort food with YUCa in her family’s home. It will certainly be one of the most memorable parts of your trip!

Thank you so much for this fun, delicious and just wonderful day! Yuca welcomed us very warmly in her cooking studio and gave us the feeling of diving not only in the Japanese world of cooking but also gave us a feeling of experiencing the authentic Japanese life. We had so much fun learning, preparing food and cooking our first gyoza and okonomiyaki together with Yuca. She is very kind, friendly, enthusiastic of her work and fun, answered all of our questions not only related to the recipes and has just a great style of teaching! Finally, we really enjoyed the food we just prepared! Yuca-san, arigato gozaimashita! We will continue cooking Japanese food and we will be very happy to recreate the food once we are back home!
