Pescetarian Cooking Classes

We had such a great time learning how to make vegetarian gyoza and ramen. Kaori-San, our instructor was SO lovely! She welcomed us in, she made everything clear and simple - and made our dishes look as good as they tasted. We’re so glad we had this experience

Lovely and educational Experience I booked the Vegan Shojin Ryori Buddhist Cuisine Cooking Class because I was interested in something different than Sushi, Ramen or Gyoza which many people offer in Tokyo. I am very glad I did because I could spent a few hours with Yuka who is an excellent host and teacher! I learned quite a lot about Shojin Ryori as we cooked a handful of dishes together. Especially the Sesame Tofu is something I can now do with confidence at home! As I also booked the trip to the supermarket with Yuka she could show me all the ingredients needed for the dishes we did prepare together. Not to mention I brought many of those home with me! I also would like to mention that Yuka’s English is very good and I quite enjoyed spending the time with her as she can teach you a lot and has many stories to tell. Also do not be afraid that the cooking course is a bit further away from the City center. I quite enjoyed walking around in Setagaya which is quite cozy compared to busy Shibuya, Shinjuk etc. All in all a lovely and educational experience which also was very authentic as we did cook in Yukas cozy home kitchen!

Thank you so much for hosting us We had so much fun and learned alot Amelia & Zipi

This experience was made super special by these wonderful and open-minded hosts! The chef is a very patient teacher, bringing you closer to the Japanese cuisine in a funny and heartfelt way. His wife is incredibly kind and forthcoming as well. We had the feeling we were cooking with our dear friends. The food was exceptionally delicious - one could feel the experience of the chef in every single bite. The beautiful notes we received when leaving will forever remind us of this incredible evening. It was an honor to be welcomed in their home! 10/10 would do it again immediately, just to be with such friendly people again. P.S.: We will be back for the massage chair anyways.

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!

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.

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 😊

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!

This experience was worth it, we learned some new things about different kinds of soy sauce, Music products and vinegar. You can bring it into real practise while you make your own dinner with real hands-on tips and tricks from Marie! She is a lovely woman who shows her Passion for the Japanse cuisine with you and helps you out with all your questions, you get invited into her home for a true feast of Japanse food that you will love. I'm definitly going to try out some of the recipes she gave us to try and infuse them in a western-style cooking. Thank you Marie dor the experience it was a lot of Fun!

Great experience! Thanks tò our teacher Momo, she shared with us her passion about the culture of rice in Japan, and It was really interesting. Highly recommended!!🍙

AMAZING!!!! Chef is so cute!! Making sushi was fun and we got extra tempura snacks and soup. Even though the chef doesn’t speak very good English he’s trying to explain as good as possible. Highly recommended for a real local experience
