This experience and the host, Junko, were amazing! She catered the experience to my interests in local produce and we had a great time picking up local sweets, buying local produce for our meal (as well as some fun fruits I wanted to try) and had an overall amazing time! I’m so happy with what I learned making noodles from scratch, ramen, and mochi! They were all relatively easy and quick to make and it was so fun to do, I can’t wait to try my newly acquired skills and the recipes at home! Thank you so much Junko and I couldn’t recommend this experience more for anyone looking to learn new skills and experience a lovely time cooking and learning!

La meilleure elle m’a beaucoup appris une professeur incroyable qui forme de grand chef et vous inspire , vous aide à vous développer, et fais un suivi de ses élèves

It was a wonderful lesson! Everything was delicious, and the two instructors were fantastic. I really hope the instructor who is about to turn 95 lives a long, healthy life.

this was so fun! i had a great time making my ramen bowl. the instructor was also great. when i visit japan again, ill definitely come back.

This was such an amazing experience for me! Tomokita is truly lovely and opens her heart and home to teach you how to cook. She is incredibly patient and guides you through the whole process, making you feel comfortable and welcome from start to finish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo. Thank you, Tomokita, for making my time in Tokyo even more special!

I never knew Kichi Kichi Omurice had a class until I found out through byFood and when I tell you that I RAN to sign up, I’m not kidding. It was so worth it! Chef Motokichi is a great mentor and teacher and so inspirational. To not only be in the company of someone who is a master of his craft but to also be able to learn from him is a dream. I can’t wait to hopefully be able to go again and to report how I’ve been practicing what he taught me at home~

I had an amazing experience with Motokichi-san. At first I was very nervous since I don't have much cooking experience, but soon I noticed that worry was unnecessary. He taught us in a very entertaining and easy-to-learn way even by wasting literally a carton of eggs... At the end one of our friends were able to make the very definition of "Omu rice" that melts down with a slight knife cut! I would absolutely recommend this experience to those who visit Kyoto

We are two Swedish friends who chose to try cooking in Okinawa with Rina. We had high expectations that she fulfilled and so much more. The evening began with a warm welcome into her home. She spoke in detail - in perfect English - about Okinawan culture, daily life, stories about local ingredients and traditions. At the same time, we got to try new exciting dishes and cooking methods while she enriched every step with lots of information and knowledge. We ended the evening full and satisfied and with a newfound attraction to the exciting Okinawan cuisine. Many thanks to Rina for everything. We highly recommend her course to all food-interested visitors to this beautiful island.

Excellent! Timings were great and had a lovely lunch at the end. Catered for gluten free really well so highly recommend for people with allergies etc. We had two female chefs whose English was very good and who taught us all brilliantly by demo and then you copy! Highly recommend 😊

Amazing class and instructors! Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn about different types of miso, where they originated in Japan, annd anbout other garments like Amazake! I’m now inspired by the fermentation of koji and can’t wait to try at home. Arigatou gozaimasu for the experience and I will be back for more Amazake as well! Couldn’t recommend the experience more!

My ramen-making experience at Ramen Dojo was one of those special experiences that I will remember long after leaving Japan. Sensei Yoku was absolutely wonderful—patient, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the art of making ramen. There is something incredibly rewarding about learning the process step by step, working with your own hands, and then sitting down to enjoy a bowl of ramen that you actually created yourself. What made the experience especially memorable was Sensei Yoku. He made the class feel personal rather than simply another tourist activity, and I left with a much greater appreciation for the skill, tradition, and care that goes into something as seemingly simple as a bowl of ramen. I’ve taken several hands-on classes during my travels, and these are often the experiences I treasure the most because they allow you to connect with the people and culture in a completely different way. Ramen Dojo was exactly that kind of experience. Thank you, Sensei Yoku, for sharing your knowledge, your patience, and a little piece of Japanese culture with me. An absolutely fantastic experience and an easy five stars!
