Class
Travel to Yoko’s kitchen in Osaka, Japan and learn how to make Gyoza, delicious Japanese dumplings! Similar to Chinese pot stickers, these tasty treats are traditionally filled with pork, but can easily be made vegetarian or vegan by substituting tofu. This is a great hands-on class for kids, full of hand-mixing, rolling, stuffing, and folding dough.
Pair your gyoza with a Kokoro Care Wa Package and bring the authentic flavors of Japan straight to your doorstep with premium, hand-selected Japanese foods sourced directly from local farmers and producers. The Wa Package is carefully curated to showcase the rich traditions, seasonal specialties, and unique regional flavors of Japan. Whether you're a food lover, an adventurous home cook, or simply looking for a taste of Japan, Kokoro Care Packages offer an unforgettable culinary journey—no passport required!"
