We just had the BEST time at our ramen and gyoza making class!! We are a family of 4 so we had the whole class to ourselves!! Our host was so sweet and spoke perfect English. She picked us up at the meeting place (only one train stop away from the Ikebukuro station) and walked us down the street to the cute Japanese home where the class took place. Our chef was very friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us step by step how to make everything as our host translated. It was very hands-on and easy to follow! The food was delicious and we were given the recipes and instructions so we could make the dishes at home! After we ate, we enjoyed some Japanese sweets and learned how to make matcha tea the traditional way with a bamboo whisk. All in all, this class has been the highlight of our trip to Japan! We had a blast and the food was delicious! Do not hesitate to book this class on your trip to Japan!

This was such an amazing experience for my family. My husband and I took our kids and it was so much fun. Sakura gave us a brief overview of Japan culture and the significance of mochi and then we got to make several different kinds. It was a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommend!
