Make Delicious Gyoza & Traditional Japanese Sweets
Experience Japanese Cooking in a Fun Way!
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Join our fun Japanese cooking class and learn how to make delicious handmade gyoza and traditional shiratama sweets.
You will learn how to wrap and cook gyoza from scratch, then enjoy them fresh from the pan. For dessert, you will make traditional Japanese sweets using soft and chewy shiratama dumplings.
This hands-on experience is perfect for beginners and travelers who want to discover authentic Japanese home cooking and sweet-making traditions. Enjoy cooking, learning, and tasting your own creations while experiencing Japanese food culture.

★★★★★We had a great time cooking with Maki and we felt very lucky that she and her husband invited us in their beautiful home with their cute dog. Maki is such a nice and lovely person. She guided us through the process of making vegetarian gyozas and Mochi (which were not part of the booking) - very delicious! In addition she gave us some local foods and self-made sauces to try and teached us some japanese expressions. We had good talks and a lot of fun. We definitely recommend cooking with Maki!
