This was maybe the best cooking class we have ever taken in our travels. Mikki and Sia were outstanding instructors. We learned practical techniques and skills that we know we can apply when we go home!!

Itinerary
Ramen has become a world-famous Japanese dish. In this hands-on cooking class, we will make ramen noodle and soup from scratch. We offer 2 options for a side dish. Sushi option (9:30-12:30) and Gyoza option (13:30-16:30). Our sushi option is unique in that we make Osaka style sushi "oshizushi" - pressed sushi, with Wagyu beef and vegetables as ingredients. We also make Japanese rolled egg and make egg sushi. Gyoza is another Japanese dish that has rapidly gained popularity in recent years. At a ramen shop, ordering ramen and gyoza as a set is a staple in Japan. *Please leave a note upon booking for vegetarian option / pescatarian option / no-fish option. *Gluten-free option is not available.

This was a wonderful experience. The teachers were very helpful. The finished product was delicious and we really enjoyed making it.
Had a great time learning to make ramen and gyoza. I will definitely be working on my technique, but was very happy with the finished products. The ladies onsite were so helpful and patient. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in understanding how both ramen and gyoza are made, and what differences make them uniquely Japan.
Had a great time doing this activity. The host was very accommodating to our pescatarian diet. She was very welcoming and even gave us recipes to take home. This was the best ramen I’ve ever had and I will now try to make these foods at home.
Hi, Rame's class was great and very informative. I had a fantastic time and learned some new words too. Thanks for the course and see you next time!
My teenage daughter and I very much enjoyed making and eating gyoza and ramen. The instructor chefs were excellent.
We had a great time making ramen and gyozas. The instructors were both great and the food was really good!
I really enjoyed this class, what particularly stands out about this class is that you do make one of the broths from scratch. Other ramen classes have everything premade and you just make the noodles and toss everything in. Here, you get to make everything yourself (to some degree), including chopping the ingredients yourself, making the noodles from scratch, and the gyoza by hand. Of course, some things are premade in advance for the sake of time (like having the chicken pre-cooked). However everything important is done by you. I highly recommend this class if you want to make ramen at home, or at the very least gyoza (which is much faster and easier)
10 out of 10!! Absolutely recommend this class to anyone. The whole thing was extremely well organized, efficient, and well-equipped. The instructors were super friendly, informative and attentive. We did so many things that the three hours flew by and everything was ready in time for us to eat and enjoy the fruits of our labour!
Very fun and interactive class. The English speaking teachers were very personable. Created such tasty gyoza and ramen to enjoy.
Excellent cooking class- best we have done in Japan. Very efficient and teaching experience. You can also purchase some supplies at the end like garlic grater or cooking chopsticks so can be a nice souvenir. Please was easy to find- Marina and Kasa were so nice!!!! We were a group of 3 plus 4 more participants so a total of 7 but we did not feel rushed and food was delicious! Try not to eat lunch before!
Great teachers, easy to follow instructions and super tasty - worth the effort of making your own dashi and noodles. I would recommend to anyone!
Great and fun class! Super Friendly instructors. And clear directions!! Not to mention super yummy food!!
Amazing experience with a knowledge instructor. The ramen and the gyoza were fantastic! I would not hesitate to book another cooking class with this company.
We had a great time. My husband and 12 yo who don’t normally cook, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The chefs were wonderful and very accommodating with my son’s food allergies so he didn’t have to miss out. Would highly recommend this experience, very intimate and fun! We certainly my left with our bellies full!
The ladies were lovely, explained the cooking process and ingredients which made for an enjoyable afternoon and wonderful food to eat at the end. Highly recommend.
This was so much fun! Our instructors were kind and efficient and helped us understand customs, and rational for why we needed to do things a specific way. We appreciated their clear guidance and had a lot of fun! Although we aren't a fan of fish, the ramen base fish/chicken was good and our gyozas turned out just like the restaurants!
We finished up cooking at about 3:30, so if you’ll be starving then you can eat a small lunch first. Find the building then go up the elevator to the 8th floor and find the room
One of the best things we did….so much fun and I will now be ‘stomping’ my Ramen noddles with delight…..strongly recommended
The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly! They took their time and had lots of patience with us all- even through trials send mistakes. They made sure we all were able to create our own masterpieces!!! Thank you!!
Very knowledgable and organised crew. I feel I could cook these recipes again at home if I find the ingredients. My teenage boys enjoyed this experience.
Great small class, only our family in the class, which included our son of 14. We all really enjoyed the class, the meal at the end was super yummy. Definitely a recommend to do.
Excellent cooking class. Easy to follow and the gyoza and ramen soup were amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
This was such a fun way to spend the afternoon. Our instructor was so welcoming and kind. The class was paced well, and it was fun to cook with others in the class.
Great fun and delicious food. Very professionally run by delightful instructors. So interesting to see how dashi is made and noodles from scratch are a doddle!
Best experience! Everyone was so friendly, knowledgeable and had great English. Food was superb - ramen and gyoza is to die for! Can’t wait to recreate them at home from the recipe sheet provided Great spot easy to access and close to train station - and great stuff all around, not to far from Dotonbori and in cute little suburb. 100% recommended - even for the non cooks it’s a great experience- lots of fun and easy to follow
A great way to start our trip to Japan, we thoroughly enjoyed our cooking experience. It was well organised and the food we cooked was great.
Great location. Terrific menu. The other 6 in the class were very fun. And the Raman and gyoza were delicious. Printed recipes to take home.
A very wholesome and fantastic experience and a must to do whilst in Osaka. Led by 2 lovely teachers, Marina and Kasa who were full of energy and very knowledgeable. The class was very interactive and we felt supported throughout. The best part was being able to eat all the fabulous yummy food at the end.
We had a great time, host was excellent we learnt so much, food was amazing. Location was easy to find.
Great experience, we had a really good time doing the cooking class and learnt a lot. I would highly recommend
We had a great experience, the teachers were lovely and knowledgable. The food was fantastic. A highlight of our trip, would recommend the class to others.
This was such an amazing experience! The mentors were friendly, organized, appreciative, supportive. This was a super easy class to follow, we were given step by step instructions through the whole process. The mentors were amazing at showing us all the ingredients, things that we could use in our own countries in place of things they had here. It was neat to learn about the different types of fish flakes like bento, to the different types of soya sauce and what the difference was between the two to the types of miso and why they are different. I highly recommend this talented group of ladies for an amazing experience you don’t want to miss.
We had a fantastic time learning how to cook gyoza and ramen. The class was relaxed, the instructors were lovely and best of all was eating what we made. Would highly recommend.
My father and I booked this cooking class and it was such an amazing experience! The instructors, Kasa and Marina, were so gracious and walked through homemade ramen and gyoza step by step. There was so much detail and precision that went into their instruction and they were also so patient and answered our questions. If you are looking for a small, intimate cooking class, I highly recommend Cooking Sun Osaka! Thank you again for being a wonderful host during out trip to Osaka.
Fun and interesting experience. You will be cooking quite a bit and especially making the noodles yourself from scratch is really fun. Eating your own creation and noticing how good it actually is, is quite fulfilling!
Our instructors were warm and friendly throughout the preparation and cooking. Everything was well organised in order to create the most seamless and successful food. The instructors also attended to our dietry needs. Trying to find the location was confusing and perhaps a small note on the apartment building would have been helpful. Overall it was fun to cook something authentically Japanese...and it was even better to eat our delicious food!
So fun and so informative! I am confident that I can make gyoza at home as well as ramen. The teachers were patient and fun. The other students were from 4 different countries. It was a perfect afternoon.
This cooking class was fantastic. The instructors were very very friendly and knowledgeable. The food we made was delicious. We would would highly recommend this experience
I highly recommend this cooking class. We had so much fun. Miki and Jun were excellent teachers, very patient and perfect English. The food was delicious. My only problem was in putting Sun Cooking in my Google maps it took me to the wrong place. As I have found true all over Japan, all I had to do was ask a local standing nearby and he called someone to walk us the 8 blocks to the correct location. I love Japan. Note, if you are walking put the actual address in your map not Sun Cooking.
A great time. Our instructors Miki and Jun were very pleasant and helpful. The food was also great and we had a good time learning to make ramen and gyoza from scratch.
We were unable to get in with the whole family as this class is so popular and sought after. I sent my 2 boys along (12 & 13). I am so impressed with how inclusive the class is. Everything was thoroughly explained to the boys by the 2 lovely hosts while I stayed in the background watching. They made their own gyozas and ramen and then got to eat it. They loved it so much and can’t wait to cook it now we are home. Thank you so much, I would highly recommend this class 😊
Wonderful class and very informative. And delicious! We learned the techniques and about the ingredients and then had fun eating our work.
Definitely the food. Who knew that making ramen was so tedious, but so much fun. Absolutely delicious and the staff was wonderful.
We loved it! Even though we're good cooks, the class is for everyone! Kassa and Marina are super good teachers and the food is fantastic! Highly recommended !
My husband and I added on this class to our honeymoon adventures in Japan while in Osaka. We loved it! The location is right in the heart of everything + it's in this cute little apartment. Both of our instructors we're extremely knowledgeable. And even though I cook often, I continued to learn new things. The instructions we're clear and they did a great job of navigating the many cooking elements. The food was fantastic at the end! And we had a great time while cooking.
Would definitely recommend when in Osaka. Team were very friendly and experienced. Thank you for such a lovely experience.
Our Chef was very friendly and welcoming. Flawless English based on her longstanding engagement in Canada and Europe. The venue is located in a residential area, the kitchen is clean, well equipped and modern. The instructions were easy to follow and the gyoza and the ramen were very authentic and yummy. We can recommend the course with no hesitation.
We had a great family experience, two teenagers in tow. Really simple, learnt a lot, and had a delicious early dinner at the end of it all!
Very nice and relaxed class. Food explanation, Easy to be followed end delicious food! The coaches are kind and prapared
