Ramen Gyoza Onigiri Japanese Cooking Class In Kyoto

Highly recommended! This was our favorite thing we did in Kyoto. The staff were friendly, funny and very informative on how to cook the perfect bowl of Ramen. The broth is the key and they showed us step by step on how to accomplish the perfect broth at home. You will also get to make gyoza and again they made it easy to learn with their step by step instructions.

Fabulous! Highly recommend this cooking class. Go hungry as there is so much food to eat after. The ramen we made was amazing. The hosts are so organized and made the class a lot of fun. Highlight of our trip!

Absolutely loved this experience Hitomi and Nori were so nice and friendly. Food was delicious! Would recommend to anyone that loves gyoza and ramen

We had the BEST time with what turned out to be an international group of travelers, learning how to make two kinds of ramen, gyoza and onigiri. Be sure and show up hungry--we couldn't finish it all! Our teachers spoke English fluently and could not have been sweeter.

What a wonderful experience! The 3 ladies who demonstrated the cooking techniques were very good with teaching and their language skills were excellent. With their help we mastered the delicious dumplings nd Lao 2 types of savory broths, which we added ramen noodles and vegetables, meats, seasonings. It was also a Delicious lunch.

It was one of the best experiences we had! The staff were so lovely, supportive and funny, special shout out to Mion who helped us and taught us bestly! Nevertheless less, we had the vegetarian option, which was just amazing and is so rare!

Had an amazing time would do again!!

This was a great experience. The class was very well organised and entertaining. The hosts were knowledgeable about the food history and cooking. The time went so quickly and before we knew it we were eating delicious ramen and gyoza. I would highly recommend this class, my daughter and I loved it.

Its a very good and funny experience, you learn alot. The staff is very helpfull and sweet, would recommend

A fabulous experience !! It was such a well organised and wonderful cooking class. The teachers were amazing, patient with all our questions and made this such a fun and very yummy experience. Yes we got to eat what we made and it was truly delicious. We would recommend this as a must, to any food lovers going to Kyoto

The cooking class was excellent! The instructors were truly phenomenal, and they made learning to make the 4 items a joy! Everything was so delicious, we were so full after having this for lunch we didn’t even consider going to dinner later. This was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend!

Great cooking class with 2 great instructors! I booked and ended up being the only person so it ended up being a private class and was awesome!! Ramen turned out amazing bc the broths were fantastic. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend this experience! The team is so lovely and you leave with your belly full!!!!!!!!!!

What an incredible experience we loved our time and the food was excellent. The perfect ending to perfect afternoon.

Genuinely really enjoyed this. Was skeptical it would be a tourist trap but was surprised by how delicious everything we made was. As someone who obsesses over cooking, I learned things I wasn’t expecting. 10/10 would recommend, worth your time and money.

A comprehensive and fun cooking class with good hints and humour. I would highly recommend this and I feel confident to be able to ( somewhat) cook these at home. I did enjoy a sake while cooking.

A really fun informative experience hosted beautifully by Nori and his daughter and a team of charming efficient colleagues. We learned about the various ingredients in an interactive way and cooked some delicious food which we enjoyed afterwards . Come hungry !

I greatly enjoyed my experience with this cooking class! Minori, Mizuki, Nori, and Yoshi were all very wonderful and welcoming. They kindly explained things in great detail and helped me every step of the way! I would 100% recommend this cooking class if you enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine!

Great experience! It took about a hour and a half total. This was absolutely worth the $90 price of admission per person! They do offer the sale of knives there as well, if you’re looking for a good knife. From the very beginning we were warmly greeted and felt very welcomed. We were a group of 3. Everything was so well organized and the staff worked as an amazing team to ensure we had what we needed when we needed it. And within a blink of an eye, what we no longer needed was removed. The instructors were great and spoke wonderful English. The food we prepared was delicious, and the instructions were easy to follow. The end results were delicious! I have a new love for cooking ramen, gyozas, and rice balls!

I really enjoyed this Japanese cooking class. The instructor was friendly and clear, making it easy to follow along even as a beginner. The class was very hands-on, and I learned useful techniques while preparing a few classic dishes. I especially appreciated the cultural insights and attention to detail, which made the experience feel more meaningful. The final tasting was a great way to end the class. Overall, a fun and worthwhile experience I’d highly recommend.

This cooking class was amazing. Nori and the staff were friendly and entertaining. I can’t wait to make the ramen and gyoza recipes at home. I highly recommend this class.

We made 4 delicious Japanese dishes, the chefs were so nice and we had a great time! We will make these dishes at home!

We learned so many new tips and tricks to make 3 dishes. I would highly recommend. Nori and MiNora where excellent teachers. Highly organized class with great instruction.

Great experience, easy to follow directions. Best of all, great food! Family owned father daughter team

This was one of the best cooking courses I have done. With all the ingredients beautifully prepared, we got through 4 fabulous dishes. The 3 presenters played tag and were all delightful and humorous. A really slick operation. Thanks team.

Family run experience, excellent English skills. Wonderful experience. Great meal enjoyed by all participants.

Many things were happening at once but they have a well organized system that is fun and easy to follow.

A tasty cooking class with an entertaining host. Easy instructions where I feel like I or my son can replicate at home now!

Really fun. Easy recipes. Great food. I would actually choose this activity over the local lunch spots that were around my hotel. This was worth the walk in the rain.

I booked this cooking class last minute at my teenage son’s request, and we arrived to find it was just us! I had expected a group, but they told me upon arrival that morning sessions are private. We had 4 staff to just us 2 (2 instructors and 2 helpers). Everyone was so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable; and the instructors’ English was impressive and very understandable. When they discovered it was my birthday, they gifted us two aprons, which was so kind and unexpected. I believe I paid approximately $180 USD, which was beyond worth it. I cannot get a single pass to a group cooking class for 1 for that in my small nowhere-town, let alone an experience in Japan cooking authentic food with native chefs.

Nori was funny and explained things very well. I believe I will be able to recreate the ramen recipes when back home. The setting is very small and enjoyable. We were able to meet other travelers and share our love of ramen.

Went to this class with 3 friends and had a great time. The hosts were funny, knowledgeable and very efficient. They captured great photos for us as well. All of the food was delicious and easy to make. Recommend trying it out!

We did the Ramen/Gyoza/Onigiri cooking class with very little knowledge of how to cook Japanese food. The instructors were encouraging, helpful and very well organized. The food we cooked on our own was delicious.

Amazing cooking experience with the family. Avinash and Ai were fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking and getting to eat what we made. Would highly recommend.

I'm glad I booked this! It was fairly simple as they had all the ingredients ready for us and it didn't take very long either. The teachers were incredibly kind and taught us well. Also the food we made: gyoza, 2 types of ramen and onigiri was delicious!

We had such a great time cooking with Chef Nori and the lovely ladies that helped him. If you would like a great experience, we can highly recommend this cooking class, just make sure you arrive hungry.

We had such a great experience, we were able to cook multiple delicious Japanese dishes and enjoy them at the end! The girls were great & funny, we will be coming back with friends 😊

This experience is well organized with very friendly and knowledgeable people. Nori and team did an excellent job! They cover an exceptional amount of cooking and material in 1.5 hours because they are one of the most prepared experiences I’ve been to on Viator. Hearing some history of ramen and ingredients made it even more fun. Highly recommended.

This class was very enjoyable and the instructors made the experience fun while also giving clear directions. The food was all amazing and we would highly recommend this class!

This experience is a must! You will not regret it! Everything was perfectly organized, clear instructions, great ingredients and you end up cooking the best ramen, gyozas and onigiri you ever had!! Nori and his team of girls were outstanding, they were very attentive and helped anyone that needed it. We had such much fun, learned a lot and even drank wine and beer while eating all the things we made!

Such a fun class with lovely teachers and delicious food! Everything was so well organised and was fun to meet new people along the way. Recommend coming hungry.

The entire experience was seamlessly provided to myself and my friends! The entire staff was lovely and spoke great English, so there was no confusion and very clear instructions were given! The food itself was amazing, and it was an incredibly valuable way to tangibly experience Japanese culture!

The class was extremely well organized. We made three dishes and had time to eat it all at the end. All ingredients were measured and ready for us to prepare. Instructors were helpful and pleasant and knowledgeable. Experience was great and food was delicious. We will definitely make the dishes at home.

From the very beginning to the very end this was a wonderful experience! We were warmly greeted as soon as we crossed the threshold. It immediately felt like we were surrounded by a group of friends rather than strangers from around the world. We were a group of 7 - a good size. We started on time. We ended on time. Everything was so well organized and the staff worked as an amazing team to ensure we had what we needed when we needed it. And within a blink of an eye, what we no longer needed was removed. The instructors were great as instructors and as new friends. The food we prepared was delightful, delicious, and the instructions were easy to follow. The end results were such that I can’t wait to go home and prepare for friends and family. I have a new love of ramen! I always did love gyoza! This was well work the price of admission - and the highlight of our visit to Japan …so far! Thank you!

Nori and his team put on a great class! Lots of fun, easy to follow, and delicious results. You'll be glad you did this.

So much fun. The team were great. Really explained everything well. Despite their jokes their English was excellent. So much to eat at the end - delicious.

Fun, informative, well organized cooking class. Instructors were easy to understand and entertaining. Food wears delicious and recipes were provided to prepare food at home.

This was a spectacular cooking class! It was engaging and educational. We enjoyed every minute of the class as well as the meal. Thank you!

This cooking class had a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is one of the activities in Kyoyo I remember most fondly. It is a fun way to eat a good lunch and relax.
