Okonomiyaki & Gyoza Cooking Class with Local Supermarket Visit

Very warm people and amazing experience. Had a lot of fun learning how to cook all the Japanese meals, they turned out delicious!

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.

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!

Yuca is an amazing host. We truly enjoyed the experience. We can’t wait to return in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo.

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!
