Mahiro provided my most memorable experience during my trip to Kyoto. He is an amazing teacher. He was patient and explained every step clearly. He was complimentary and made me feel like a pro. I am so excited to go back to the US to make my own authentic ramen.

Itinerary
Make ramen from scratch, then eat the bowl you made as lunch or dinner. 1. Ramen quiz: your instructor opens with a short quiz on ramen's history and how it got its name. 2. Noodles: knead the dough by hand (it takes 100+ folds, and most guests lose count around 30), then roll it flat and cut it on a noodle machine. 3. Soup: prepare chashu and choose your soup base and oils. 4. Eat: assemble your bowl and enjoy it as a full meal. You'll leave with your bandana and a group photo with a QR code for the recipe. Vegan, gluten-free and halal versions are available at the same price: - Vegan: tofu instead of chicken, vegetable broth, spinach instead of egg and fishcake, vegan miso - Gluten-free: gluten-free soy sauce and rice-flour noodles - Halal: halal soy sauce and halal chicken broth Some versions have fewer topping choices. Our kitchen also handles wheat, so for strict needs such as celiac disease, please message us before booking.

Sakura and Hero are beyond amazing and deserve a promotion !!!! I couldn’t recommend this experience more. Such a wholesome way to spend a night in Kyoto. Ookini 💕
The master chef Sakura-san was very attentive and had fun and lively enery, along with Hero-san and Keiko-san who worked very professionally and had everything prepared. I was with my family and we all enjoyed a delicious ramen and had a wonderful experience! Even my mom who hates cooking liked making the ramen, and ofcourse eating it. Highly recommended :)
I went here with my family. Ramen so good, and Sakura and Hero are amazing! Had a lot of fun, learned about Japanese culture more. Definitely a must do, if I could, I would go again! Thank you!
Today I learned all about Ramen. Never cared for it much until today. Iori was an excellent teacher and very enjoyable to be around. Not only did I learn about Ramen and delicious soup and spices, I also learned some important Japanese language and expected behavior in the culture. This was a very special experience for me. Made me love Ramen, Japan, the people and the culture even more. I wish you all a very successful future. Thank you very much. Kathy Hall Kathy Hall
What fun! Iori was stupendous, adding encouragement, humor and knowledge to each step of the ramen making process. AND the ramen was the best ever!
We heard this was a great class from other family members, so we booked it during our trip to Japan. I’m so glad we did because it was definitely a highlight. Our class guide Iori was so friendly and entertaining. Making the ramen was a lot of fun. But most importantly, it was delicious. We’d definitely recommend this class without hesitation.
Who knew making ramen could be so fun! It was great to learn more about the process and very yummy

Super fun and delicious, you can do it! Thanks to the instructors! 💕
Favorite experience in Japan!!
One of the best create-your-own-classes I've ever taken and spoiler alert the ramen you make at the end is absolutely delicious 🤤!!! Our guide Hero was fantastic and so engaging with us by sharing the history and cooking process while also taking video and pictures of us.
Loved the entire process from learning where ramen originated from as well as Japanese phrases widely used when showing appreciation towards meals, etc. The fee was on the pricey side but I could tell that the ingredients used were of good quality. With that, I am satisfied even with the price and that I got to experience what it was like making ramen. An hour and a half didn't feel long but that was due to the expertise of the instructor making the workshop feel fun and engaging. Loved the experience overall and met some wonderful people. Thank you again for the experience~ ♡
Great fun to do. Instructor was great. The process was good and the ramen we made tasted fantastic.
We had such a great time and made delicious Ramen. It was a nice intimate group and the host was very engaging.
Hanna was enthusiastic, experience was a lot of fun, and ramen was great. Whole staff was very positive. Food ingredients seemed healthy. We went at 6:00pm so it was dinner for us:)
Excellent time. Lots of fun! Hanna did a great job teaching.
Amazing, easy and fun experience. Everything was explained perfectly. Best Ramen I have ever had! These guys are the best!
The experience was awesome and fun. Me and wife had the time of our lives and best ramen ever. We enjoyed making everything from scratch and eating it in the end.
Excellent experience, everyone was great to all of us.
Awesome! Learned how to really make Ramen!!!
I was sceptical of this class because I thought it would be gimmicky but it was so brilliant Sakura, our teacher was sooo good When I arrived and said I was vegetarian, alterations were made for me and everything was explained in so much detail The food was also soo yummy!
If you like ramen, a must do! Best ramen i made. Awesome experience in general.
Fantastic. Amazing staff and great food!
Wow! What an amazing experience, we have done cooking classes a few times but nothing will come close to this ramen cooking class. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor, Iori was very pleasant and such an energetic and entertaining host, we couldn’t recommend this more if you are looking at doing this
This class was so much fun and exceeded my expectations. Thanks Iori and Yuto for a very well run and FUN cooking class.
It was an amazing experience and was super easy and tasty. Our teacher for the class was Iori and was really friendly and fun. Would recommend the class to anyone wanting to have a fun experience in Kyoto
