Ramen & Gyoza Cooking Class In Tokyo With Local Supermarket Visit

Yuca’s cooking class was pure pleasure. We enjoyed every minute. The cooking experience was well organized and every participant took part. Yuca explained each step in the preparation, including what utensils to use and why. She provided us an intimate look into a Japanese kitchen and a Japanese home. Thanks to Yuca’s pleasant personality, our group of three couples who had never met each other became friends and enjoyed the experience together. Thank you so much Yuca. Highly recommended.

Superb!!!!! This was the best of three different classes I tried in the Tokyo area - and they were all excellent. YUCa stands out. The ramen and gyoza were life-changing delicious. I came home and have made them on repeat. What an excellent experience this was. Thank you YUCa!!!!

It was very nice. She was well prepared and thorough in her instructions. Food was very tasty. Would definitely recommend this class.

My wife and I really enjoyed this experience. It was informative, fun, and YUCa was a very pleasant teacher. We enjoyed this class with two other couples, who also appreciated this experience. I look forward to doing this again, next time being a different course, and would encourage others to also try it. Highly recommended.

This was my second time in YUCa-San’s class but my family’s first time, and we all had the greatest time, exactly as expected! YUCa-san is lovely, her food is incredible, and she is a great and patient teacher for all experience levels! We even had a professional chef in our class, and she was happy to meet his level just as much as she was happy to meet ours!

Yuca is amazing, opening up her home to teach us was very special. Wonderful small group activity. Would highly recommend

Yuca was super sweet and friendly and spoke great English! She made the whole activity fun and interesting. Everyone did their part to make the ramen and gyōza. The best part was eating everything!

We had the best time! Yuca is fantastic! I would make this a must for your trip (especially if you love gyoza and ramen).

YUCa was such a warm and welcoming host! She made us feel so comfortable in her home. Her attention to detail and her kindness was so special and memorable. We have 3 kids (ages 17, 12 and 12) and she ensured that everyone had a role in the preparation and cooking of the delicious food. Our kids loved making ramen and gyoza from scratch and so did we! We learned enough that we are looking forward to trying again ourselves, using her recipe. This was such a beautiful way to experience Japanese cooking and culture! It was so special and memorable! She even took the time to show us around her local supermarket. I would highly recommend this to anyone and was touched by how gracious and helpful YUCa was. This was an absolute highlight of our trip and we would be overjoyed to have the chance to do it again in the future! ❤️

The cooking experience was exactly what we expected. She is very friendly and outgoing and made the cooking experience even better. I highly recommend.

This is my first time taking a cooking class and I really enjoyed it. It’s fun and you learn so much about Japanese cooking. Highly recommend!

This was absolutely a fantastic experience! We felt very welcome and had a wonderful time learning the Japanese style of cooking and culture. The class was about two hours. I would highly recommend!!

This was honestly one of the best classes I’ve ever attended. Yuca was incredibly kind, polite, welcoming, and professional from the very beginning. She created such a warm and friendly atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable, even though we were all from different parts of the world. One of my favorite parts of the experience was connecting with the other people in the class. We shared so many laughs, learned together, and had an amazing time from start to finish. Yuca explained everything clearly, guided us through every step, and had thoughtful answers to all of our questions. The ramen and gyoza we prepared were absolutely delicious, and making them ourselves made the meal feel even more special. The experience did not end when the cooking class was over either. Yuca kindly took us on a tour of a local supermarket, showed us different Japanese ingredients, and explained which products were worth buying and how they could be used. It was much more than just a cooking class. It was a fun, authentic, and memorable cultural experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you, Yuca, for such an unforgettable experience!

Yuca was amazing! Hands diwn one if the best things we chose to do in Tokyo! I ca make ramen at home from scratch.

Very fun and informative class. Yuca is very knowledgeable and understandable. Would recommend while visiting Tokyo

We absolutely loved our visit with Yuca, she was welcoming and provided such a great environment for our cooking experience. Yuka has great communication skills and got all 5 of us involved with each step of the cooking process. We cooked ramen and gyoza and all enjoyed our finished product with glasses of her own brand tea. I would highly recommended Yuca to anyone visiting Japan who would like to learn how to make their delicious dishes. Thanks for a great experience Yuca 😊

Thank you Yuca for your incredible care and thoughtfulness, we could feel it literally in every little detail of the class. This was the best birthday present and we attended quite a few classes already! From the beginning, we could see how much work and preparation went into this class and we appreciated every detail - you giving us history and background of ramen, dissecting it in an easy-to follow structure… Your x factor however is you! Fanning us in the hit hot weather, showing us your fish grill, taking us to the supermarket to show us amazake rice. We took away a beautiful memory that will stay with us for a long time. Take care and all the best!

Highly recommend this class! Yuca was friendly, funny & knowledgeable. She made it easy to follow along and made the experience fun along the way! The ramen and gyozas were delicious and we can’t wait to try it again at home!

Learning how to cook ramen and gyoza from Yuca was an amazing experience! We learned so much about Japanese culture and cuisine and the final product was delicious - I can't wait to re-create these dishes at home.

Instructor carefully walked us through preparation of the Ramen dish. Five students made the prep easy. We received detailed printed instructions, and information on how to access the YouTube videos. I recommend this class.

We had the best time with Yuca! She takes you step by step through the process of making ramen and goyza in her home studio kitchen. It's such a sweet place it makes it easy to open up and share a meal with the other participants. We learned so much and made so many awesome friends! Cannot say enough good things!

We were so excited that Yuca could accommodate a vegetarian couple. While the other classmates prepared dishes with meat, Yuca knew just how to keep our ingredients and cooking separate. She is a great teacher and kept us all on task. The food was delicious and we feel like we can easily follow her recipes in the future. Definitely recommend as something fun & educational to do while visiting Tokyo!

Such a fun experience! Yuca was a great teacher, so sweet and kind! We loved it.

Great experience with yuca in an authentic Japanese home cooking authentic Japanese soy shoyu ramen and EXTRA crispy dumplings. Her English is spectacular and she shows everyone step by step how to make these dishes. Even better the food was fantastic. Genuinely a special experience my first time in japan.

Yuca was charming and knows how truly teach you why you are using your ingredients in particular ways. She was fun and kept the pace of the class moving. She did enough prep that it didn’t feel slow, but left enough prep that you really got to cook. The ramen and gyoza we made were absolutely delicious. She also has a YouTube cooking channel if you want a preview of what you would be booking. We were 3 friends that cook frequently and we all felt it was a 10/10 experience!

Yuca was amazing. She was super friendly and welcoming. She was extremely informative and was more than willing to answer our questions. The class was small and intimate. She included a wonderful guide and recipes for all the dishes we cooked. We made delicious ramen and gyoza. Overall wonderful experience.

This was our most anticipated event of the trip and the experience delivered! Was very special to join Yuca in her neighborhood (and home!) to get a sense for everyday life in Japan. Yuca was super sweet and welcoming, and made the entire experience enjoyable and enlightening. While the food was simple in theory, she taught us a lot about Japanese ingredients and we made the best ramen of the trip in this very class! Definitely planning to make other recipes from her YouTube channel in the future and am grateful for the experience. Thanks, Yuca!!

Wonderful time with YUCa! Thank you very much !

Great experience and lots of fun. Attended with our 14 yea told son and he had a ball. Thanks YUCa ❤️

A wonderful morning with Yuca. Very friendly with great English to instruct us. Works for any cooking standard and you get to eat amazing local food at the end!

We had such a great time at Yuca’s cooking class! Yuca welcomes you into her home for an authentic and intimate cooking experience. She’s an absolute pleasure and the food was great! It was the best ramen I had for my entire time in Japan. Would recommend.

My wife and I attended the gyoza and ramen cooking class and we had the best time! YUCa was so much fun to learn from and helped us cook some of the best food we had while visiting Japan. We also had a great time interacting with the other people who booked the class as well as her husband. They welcomed us into their beautiful home so warmly and we will tell everyone going to Japan that they have to book this class. Neither of us can say enough about how great YUCa was and the class was! We can’t thank you enough! We loved our whole time there and hope to come back for another class. We also loved the information that we were taught and going to the supermarket.

Yuca was amazing! Honestly we had a great time making ramen and gyoza. Yuca was very clear and made cooking seem effortless :) we're excited to try out these dishes at home. Thanks Yuca for making us feel so welcome!

I highly recommend taking a class with Yuca!! It was so much fun, she made it so accessible and easy to learn, and the space was beautiful! We brought our 4 year old and she even made special accommodations to make it a fun experience for him too! Would definitely do it again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Experience in Tokyo Took YUCa’s Ramen & Gyoza class and it exceeded expectations. She’s a fantastic teacher — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Japanese cooking. The small group setting means you’re actually hands-on the whole time, not just watching. The food turned out incredible, and you leave with real skills and recipes you can use at home. The post-class market visit was a nice touch too. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo looking for something memorable beyond the usual tourist activities.

It was an excellent intimate experience of learning the art of ramen and gyoza. Yuca was a great teacher and so helpful. Try her teas.

We had an amazing time in Yuca’s ramen and gyoza class—easily one of the highlights of our trip. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed for our family. Yuca is a fantastic teacher, and we learned a lot not just about cooking, but about Japanese food and culture as well. The grocery store visit was a unique and memorable touch, and the food we made was delicious. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and the experience she provides. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Tokyo—don’t miss it.

I wanted to do something different with my kids (14 and 12) whilst in Tokyo. I found Yuca's cookery class on Trip Advisor, read some of the glowing reviews and decided to book. It did not disappoint! Right from the moment we walked through the door of Yuca's home, she was friendly, fun and welcoming. Her English is incredibly good. There were seven in our class and Yuca put us all at ease, giving us different cooking jobs to do. She was great with my kids. She explained the differing types of ramen and the processes by which it is made in easy, careful stages and I left thinking this was definitely something I could have a go at cooking back in the UK. Yuca also showed us how to make gyoza, in particular how to create 'pleats' in the pockets. We all got to sit down and enjoy our ramen and gyoza for lunch and it was super tasty. I don't have one negative thing to say about our visit. It was great from beginning to end and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo who is interested in Japanese food. Thank you Yuca!

YUCa’s cooking class offers a wonderful group cooking experience for Japanese food lovers. Each participant plays a role in preparing and cooking ramen and gyozas, then enjoying the fruits of their labor. To replicate the meal back home, YUCa provides detailed recipes and ingredients lists. A visit to the neighborhood market allows the participants to see how the ingredients of the recipes are packaged and sold. This class was a very enjoyable way to spend the morning in Tokyo learning about Japanese food and culture with Yuka’s kind, enthusiastic, and informative instruction.

The experience of cooking with yuca was incredible. She was very funny and knowledgeable. She spoke excellent English and all of her instructions were easy to follow. The food was delicious and the hands on process of cooking it was fun too. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting tokyo

This was a highlight of our Japan trip and was amazing through the whole experience. Yuca was superb and her English was excellent. Making the food was fun and interactive and the food tasted great. Would highly recommend this to anyone in Tokyo.

Must-do activity for food lovers in Tokyo! The cooking class teaches great traditional Japanese cooking techniques. She is both professional and entertaining. The food store tour was really interesting too.

Absolutely fabulous experience! She was both professional and entertaining to learn authentic Japanese cooking skills from. I highly, highly recommend this cooking class.

This experience was wonderful from start to finish. We were looking for a local cooking experience as a break from all of the walking and hustle & bustle, but this wound up being a highlight of our trip. YUCa is extremely friendly, inviting, and professional. The class is very well paced, the food was delicious, and she makes sure to create a full experience - not just a cooking class. The class doesn’t require intense cooking skills but it is hands on and a good balance of “involved” without any complexity. Would highly recommend!

Very fun and informative. Yuca was really nice and made the experience very enjoyable for everyone, while also explaining each step in detail. Highly recommended!

Had so much fun and the ramen is sooo good! Definitely gonna follow her YouTube channel for more recipe.

I had a fantastic experience learning the art of Japanese cuisine with Yuka. We dived deep into the secrets of crafting the perfect ramen and gyoza, and Yuka’s insights into traditional flavors were invaluable. The class is hosted in a charming neighborhood that adds to the overall magic of the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic culinary adventure.

Amazing! Interactive! Educational! Fun! And a yummy meal at the end. I would recommend this to all my friends!

It was a really amazing experience (we did the Ramen & Gyoza class) Yuca is so lovely and experienced I would recommend anyone looking for a cooking class in Tokyo to attend this one!! After she also takes you to a local grocery store which was a really great addition to learning how to cook amazing dishes.
