Vejetaryen Fabrika Turları

This was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had! I happened to meet the owner on Threads while posting about Japan, and learned she had a Ramen experience that took place at both her brother’s 3rd generation ramen factory and her house for dinner. We got to try their grandpa’s original ramen after flattening it and cutting it ourselves, as well as try salad, gyoza, and pork ramen soup that were all their mother’s and grand mother’s recipes. She even took care to make sure my mom’s shellfish allergy wasn’t an issue! We spent 5 hours with this kind family, had amazing and deep conversations about cultural similarities and differences, and even got to meet the family’s children, neighbor, and dogs! It was such a soulful experience and I cannot recommend enough. Might be the best experience I’ve ever had in Japan!

It was a truly wonderful afternoon and evening. The tour of the workshop was very interesting. The cooking session with Akiko at the end was the perfect way to wrap things up. We were given a very warm welcome at her home. It was the absolute highlight of our entire vacation.

This experience was an absolute highlight on our Japan trip and is a memory we will fondly look back on. Akiko-san and her brother, Taka-san, made us feel very welcomed, showed us the process of making Ramen noodles in great depth and answered every question we had. Cooking and eating our own delicious Ramen later at Akiko-san's home was the perfect ending to an already amazing day. If you want to experience authentic local culture, learn about types of ramen noodles, or just love eating great food - do yourself a favor and book this. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

It was such a lovely day with Aikiko and her brother! We were made to feel so very welcome, every question was answered, and we even got to have a go at making the noodles ourselves. Visiting Aikiko at home was an unforgettable experience. Cooking the meal was great fun and it tasted absolutely delicious! I can’t recommend the ramen ‘tour’ highly enough – it’s an experience you’ll never forget!

This experience felt so personal and heartwarming. Akiko-san and her brother Taka-san show you their family factory rich in history and traditions. You then get to cook a few of Akiko's grandmother's recipes. I felt really lucky to be there and get to live this. I got to taste all the different kinds of noodles the factory made! It was incredible. The whole family was nice. It was felt so nice to have dinner, chat and laugh. Really made my time in Japan special.

It was perfekt. Thank you very much.

We had the pleasure of meeting Akiko and Taka, and this experience was truly something very special. First, we visited their ramen factory, which has been family-owned for many years. Even there, you could immediately feel how much passion, tradition, and heart they put into everything they do. After that, we were able to make our own ramen, which was already an absolute highlight. Afterwards, we were invited to Akiko’s home, where we prepared the ramen soup together. We also had gyoza and a wonderful dessert. It was not only incredibly delicious, but also one of the warmest and most unique experiences we have ever had. The whole atmosphere was simply extraordinary so warm, personal, and authentic. We felt welcome from the very first moment. The kindness of Akiko, Taka, and everyone involved truly touched us. There was so much delicious food, and everything was made with so much love. This is an experience we will never forget. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to say thank you. We can truly recommend this experience to everyone who wants to enjoy not only amazing food, but also real hospitality and a very special insight into Japanese culture.❤️🌸

Akiko-san gave me a warm welcome. It was a pkeasure meeting her family and learning about Japanese culture, especially through ramen. I highly recommend everyone have this experience; there's so much to enjoy! ありがとうございます。

I can 110% recommend this experience! Not only will you learn a lot about how ramen noodles are made but also how to Cook ramen and on top master the folding of gyoza! You'll feel welcomed and like in the middle of friends/family right away. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience and creating the best Yokohama memory!

It was such a wonderful experience and a real highlight of our trip! The host and their family were incredibly kind and welcoming. Making gyoza and ramen together was so much fun, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’m excited to try cooking everything again at home. I’d recommend this experience to everyone!

We had a really really great time with Akiko-san, her brother Taka-san, the two cuties Teddy and Milky and the rest of our little group :) We learned alot about the Ramen culture and got to eat exceptionally good food (and a lot! 😁). We wish we could have spend even more time with everyone, because we had such a blast ❤️

This cooking experience was the highlight of our Japan trip. We are a family of 5. Our kids are aged 8, 5, and 1.5 years old. It was such a unique learning experience to get the noodle factory tour, and Akiko and her brother Taka make you feel just like part of the family. Our kids had a blast helping make the noodles and seeing the machinery at work. After the factory tour, we were escorted back to Akiko’s home where the cooking class was held. Her family was so welcoming, and we were so touched that she provided toys for our little kids to play with. Her son also arranged for a separate activity for the kids to do while waiting for the food to cook. The food was delicious, we learned so much, and left feeling so welcomed with this experience. We would do it again in a heartbeat, and would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Yokohama!
