My family had the absolute best time making ramen noodles! It was an easy and fun experience that my husband and I and our kids (15, 12 and 7) all loved doing. Everyone was so kind and patient with our family and enjoying ramen in the restaurant afterwards was quite a treat - plus having the restaurant's owner as part of the experience was extra special -- he even was willing to share his story of starting businesses with my 12 year old (including answering lots of questions! :)). Highly recommend this experience!

Our family group of six had a great time learning about the process of making Ramen noodles with some hands-on experience, and then enjoyed a fantastic Ramen lunch! Shin focused on noodle making, as advertised, and not the brorh or other ingredients. A great foodie experience!

Ramen Noodle Making Experience in Kyoto

We thoroughly enjoyed the ramen and gyoza making experience. Trainer Saeko took us through each step of the making in detail and explain the types and usage of the ingredients. The recipe is easy to replicate at home yet taste like great. I'm so glad I signed up on this class as the focus is on making the soup broth and char siew meat from scratch rather than on the ramen noodles. Strongly recommended.

The Mixology class was fun. Class was run by a lovely group of ladies. The drinks were colorful and yummy. They gave us a gift set at the end which I did not expect. Overall, great experience. Only one small issue was we had a trouble finding the building the class was in. A sign on the street would be very helpful.
