It was a very enjoyable experience! Although it’s in my neighborhood, I got to tour a noodle factory that I normally wouldn’t have a chance to see, and I made my own noodles by choosing the dough and the cutting blade I liked. It was a very interesting and valuable experience. After that, we moved to Akiko-san’s home, where we started by preparing the filling for the gyoza, wrapping them, and then cooking them with crispy wings, just like in a restaurant! The salad with fried baby sardines and mizuna was also exceptional. We then boiled our own ramen noodles, added various toppings, and enjoyed a luxurious bowl of rich, tonkotsu-style ramen! To finish, we made matcha shiratama cream anmitsu, which was a perfect course. There were no foreign participants this time, but this has inspired me to study English, and I hope to interact with international guests next time. Thank you for the wonderful time!

Cooking with Michiko was so much fun! We loved making ramen from scratch, as well as learning how to make the broth and prepare the pork belly. Additionally we prepared our own gyoza, it was great. I am a vegetarian and Michiko managed to adapt everything for me, while maintaining the Tonkatsu Ramen for the rest of my family. To make it just perfect, the end result was delicious! My family would definitely recommend the cooking experience with Michiko, and we are looking forward to trying the recipes at home again!
