Rika-san is very friendly and a great translator. The head-chef is also very patient with us beginners. Very good experience and definitely worth trying out.
Yumi and Chef Nakashima were both amazing! Yumi speaks excellent English and was so lovely, and Chef Nakashima is incredibly talented. The food was delicious and offered great value for money. Highly recommend! 😊
Yumi and Nagashima made this experience incredible. So many good laughs. Great food and instructions. Thank you so much for such a memorable night.
Does tow beautiful woman guide were great, polit, funny and kind
If you are looking for a fantastic culinary experience, this Ramen and Gyoza making class is an absolute must! The instructors were welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire process of crafting these dishes from scratch both fun and approachable. The highlight was sitting down to eat our creations, the ramen was truly exceptional, with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles that honestly tasted like they came straight from a top-tier restaurant. The handmade gyoza were the perfect crispy, savory accompaniment. It ended up being one of the memorable experiences of our trip to Kyoto. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to bring a real taste of Japan back home!
Excellent experience and thanks to a great teacher (Joshai) and good ingredients the food was absolutely delicious.
Yumi and Ai were incredibly welcoming and fun! Their class gave us a memory that will last a life time. The ramen was also AMAZING. Highly recommend!
Ramen, rice and goyza cooking on a rainy day. Perfect.
Huge thanks to Yuki, Romi and and Ai for a great experience. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto, can't wait to try make our own ramen once we get home. Ookini!
The experience was great from the easy pickup to the cool location and the food was great to. I specially wabt to highlight our guide Yuki and chef eitaro they were great and made the experience so much better
Very well run cooking class with Emi and her team. We both really enjoyed the experience. The ramen and gyoza were so good. I'd definitely recommend to anyone.
Such a fun experience learning how to cook local cuisine. Emi was so great to work with she is kind and helpful. Thanks again Emi for a wonderful time!
Great experience, would highly recommend! We booked the 4:30pm tour and it was a wonderful dinner! If you can find the time in your schedule do this experience!
Great experience with lovely guides, would really recommend. 😊
Thank you so much for everything Yuki and team from the wonderful photos and local tips, to the kind support throughout the recipes!!! We can’t wait to make them at home! The spicy broth was magical, thank you for helping me, rolling the dough was a good workout
Great guid who is local and gave us many fun-facts during the workshop! The duration was just right enough and guide spoke very good English. 8 people on the workshop was just right enough.
Our guide, Yuki, was amazing! She interpreted for the ramen chefs and was there if we needed help! She also took lots of pictures and sent them to us later. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience!
This was an absolute fantastic experience and gave me a new appreciation for the making of Ramen. The class was easy to follow and our host, Saori was absolutely great. She was able to provide history on the origin of Ramen, as well as as serving as an interpreter well also having just such a lovely personality. I would highly recommend this class as you will learn something new to be able to take back to your individual homes and it’s five across the board.
Fantastic time. Learned how to make ramen from scratch. We also made fried rice. And free drinks were included. Food was delicious. Highly recommend this ramen making class. Great value.

Great time. Booked for a birthday present. Had a lovely time learning and cooking and meeting new people
Our ramen experience was great. The vibes in the shop were great, and the experience of making and eating the meal was authentic. Yuki was an awesome guide! She was friendly, funny, and very helpful. She made our ramen experience great. She also answered many of our other questions about touring Japan, and even sent me some helpful messages later for guidance.
Really good fun class, learning to make Ramen and gyoza. Our guide , Yuki, was excellent. She made sure we were all aware of each step of the recipe and that we had our drinks. Excellent tour

Perfect experience to learn how to make Ramen & gyoza & delicious rice.
I just loved this class. Our guide spoke excellent English and was able to communicate to the group on behalf of the chef, who was delightful. The pace of the class was just right and enjoyed the fruits of our labor with a tasty lunch! Definitely worthwhile!

Had a wonderful day time making noodles!! Lovely host and really interesting to learn about the cooking process! Would definitely recommend 😊
Brilliant experience and really friendly host. I left learning a lot and very full!
This was a fantastic experience. Great fun and we were stuffed after! The chef was brilliant. The directions easy to follow. I am not a cook by any means but I will try these delicious dishes at home.
This experience was a highlight of our 12-night Celebrity cruise to Japan. Our group looks for ways to learn about the culture of the places we visit while also learning how to make some of the food we love back home. The English speaking tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She acted as the interpreter for the chef we worked with, which I was concerned about at first, but was not an issue at all. We learned how to make ramen (we each had a chance to choose our own broth), gyoza and fried rice, then enjoy our creations as a hearty lunch. The restaurant/location of the experience was down an alley that we would not have been able to discover on our own, which made the entire excursion feel that much more exclusive. Don’t be scared of the “local feel” of the location - it’s not a professional, sterile kitchen, but one that is a local favorite of the people who know how ramen should taste! If you are someone who likes to recreate dishes when you return home, this is a must-do for you! Ramen, gyoza and fried rice are all relatively easy to make upon your return home and using the skills learned in class can be applied in your own kitchen with little need for additional equipment (although if you want to make the ramen noodles from scratch, you might have to invest in a noodle press). This is a 5-star experience that I would recommend to new and experienced chefs.
