Guided by bilingual (English and Japanese) chefs, this hands-on experience goes beyond simply following a recipe, introducing guests to the techniques, precision, and teamwork behind one of Japan's most beloved dishes.


Working with professional-grade kitchen equipment and high-quality ingredients, you'll make ramen noodles from scratch, prepare handmade gyoza, and learn to build rich, flavorful broths.


The small-group setting allows personalized guidance throughout the cooking process, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced home cooks.


After cooking, sit down to enjoy a feast of freshly made ramen and gyoza paired with a welcome drink of beer or sake.


Photos will be taken throughout the experience, and guests will receive a secret souvenir and a comprehensive recipe e-book to take home, making it easy to recreate the dishes long after the class ends.


This experience welcomes guests aged 8 and above and offers a range of dietary preferences, including vegan, gluten-free, and pork-free options.
