An educational and interactive cooking demonstration, workshop and cookbook author meet and greet
Join us for a special stop on Akino Ogata's cookbook tour, as she travels from Nara, Japan, to share the art and heart behind traditional gyoza.
Part cooking class, part cultural celebration, this interactive workshop invites you to roll up your sleeves and learn directly from Akino herself.
What to expect:
🥟 Live Demonstration: Watch Akino prepare traditional Japanese gyoza, alongside the classic dipping sauces that bring each bite to life.
👐 Hands-On Workshop: Get in the kitchen and make your own gyoza, with your choice of vegan, pork, or chicken filling.
🎁 Specialty Giveaway: Enter to win a curated selection of items sourced directly from Akino's hometown of Nara, Japan.
📖 Author Q&A: Bring your questions for an intimate conversation with Akino about her cookbook, her culinary journey, and the traditions behind her recipes.
Whether you're a seasoned home cook or simply gyoza-obsessed, this is a rare opportunity to learn from a celebrated culinary voice and bring a piece of Japanese tradition into your own home.
