"Get hands-on with Japan’s favorite comfort food in this authentic cooking workshop in Kyoto’s famous Gion District."
Learn how to make ramen noodles from scratch at a local ramen restaurant in Kyoto’s historic Gion district
Follow step-by-step guidance from a professional ramen chef
Mix, roll, and cut your own noodles using a special ramen-making machine
Enjoy a freshly prepared bowl of ramen made by the chef
If you love ramen, this hands-on experience in Kyoto’s historic Gion district is the perfect way to learn its craft from scratch.
Visit Kyoto’s famous Gion district and learn the basics of ramen making from scratch through Ramen Noodle Making Experience in Kyoto by Musoshin, a popular ramen restaurant that welcomes over 6,000 visitors every month.
Musoshin is known for its signature black ramen, made with local black sesame, Kyoto-grown rice, and regional condiments.
The restaurant has three locations in Kyoto and one in Toronto, which has been featured in Canada’s Michelin Guide.
At the workshop, you’ll learn every step of the noodle-making process from a professional ramen chef.
First, your instructor will explain how to prepare the dough using a special ramen machine.
Then, you’ll mix, knead, roll, and cut the noodles yourself under expert guidance.
You’ll discover the balance of texture and flavor that makes Musoshin’s ramen so satisfying: smooth yet perfectly chewy.
At the end of the workshop, you can sit back and enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen prepared by the restaurant’s chef.
The broth is creamy, mild, and deeply flavorful, perfectly matched with the noodles you’ve just made.
This fun, hands-on experience is suitable for travelers who love Japanese food and want to learn an authentic skill to take home. You’ll not only taste great ramen—you’ll understand the craft behind it.
The noodles are made from wheat flour
Vegetarian and vegan ramen options are available
Children under 3 years old are not permitted to participate, but they may wait in the Japanese-style room
The workshop is led by a professional ramen chef who will guide you through each step of the noodle-making process.

Our family of 3 took this tour. It was fun learning about Ramen making and other things Japanese. Our young guides Azu and Koki have excellent English and seemed genuinely curious about us and our culture as much as we were. The ending ramen lunch was delicious as well
