This class was so much fun! Our hosts - Hiroko & Minsato - were so kind and patient with us. We did the class with our 3 teenagers. Everyone had a fun time, and the food we made was delicious!

AMAZING experience

Caroline_C, Jul 2026

Hiroko was truly exceptional and we had the most wonderful experience. The gyoza were amazing and we learned so much. Hiroko was so knowledgeable and kind and I can’t wait to go home and cook the gyoza for my family. The recipe was accessible if you are a chef or never cooked before and Hiroko made sure we learned so much. I HIGHLY recommend anyone and everyone do this class if you are in Tokyo!!
