Tokyo 清真 料理教室

I had an absolutely wonderful time cooking okonomiyaki with my partner and the amazing sensei who helped us through it all. She walked us through all the steps and made sure we got through without a hitch. All while making us feel at home and talking to us about every little thing! She is so gentle and patient, such a comfortable atmosphere. In the end everything ended up tasting delicious! 10/10 would recommend.

Thank you so much for having us!

Delicious food in a warm and welcoming home. The host, Yuka, was so kind and shared her passion and love of cooking in every dish. Highly recommend! And don’t forget to say high to their small bird, Peter!

Yesterday, we went as a couple to this lovely experience making okonomiyaki- about 40 minutes away from our home. That morning, we skipped breakfast to save ourselves for the meal- and it was so worth it! Yayoi-sensei was such a wonderful teacher to us, and didn't spare any details explaining the route of the process. Both of them were such warm and friendly hosts who accommodated us every step of the way. 5 stars! I'd love to visit again.

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!

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!

Fun activity and value for money. Host was lovely, guided us how to make and helped us take pictures and videos of us making the Taiyaki. As we only eat halal, we could only make matcha and red bean Taiyaki - which were plant based. Highly recommend this activity for anyone looking for a fun activity to do in Asakusa!

So wonderful and sweet! Felt like hanging out with a family member or friend. Soooo delicious and tasty! Heavily recommend!!!

If you are looking for an authentic ramen making experience that caters to a vegan diet, look no further. I've been to many vegan cooking classes in the US for american dishes and wanted have a true ramen making experience in the heart of it all. Kaori delivered; 15/10 experience! Kaori is an exceptional host, chef, and great person. She was able to provide an experience through the market identifying the ingredients for the ramen and gyoza, open her home to create an exceptional meal, and provided translations to common phrases you need to get around Japan. In addition, she even gave recommendations to local restaurants and shops. My husband and I had such an amazing time making ramen and gyoza and were too full after 😅 it was a highlight of our first trip to Japan. Definitely would recommend to everyone to book this experience before you spend time at any other tourist attraction. This experience beats any view you pay for in the city.

The experience was great. The chef explained everything fully detailed and the meal was great with quality local ingredients. I would repeat and recommend it with no doubt

The lesson moved at a great pace, which felt really comfortable! And the taste? Absolutely perfect! 👍 I loved how the instruction was tailored to my preferences and how carefully the flavors were checked along the way—it was fantastic! For the mushroom mixed rice, the dashi stock made from dried shiitake mushrooms and kombu was excellent. We cooked it in a pot, so we even got to enjoy the crispy, caramelized rice crust (*okoge*) at the bottom! Turning the used kombu into *furikake* seasoning was a delicious example of eco-friendly cooking! Tomoko-sensei’s homemade pickled *koume* plums paired perfectly with the rice—it was incredibly delicious! Then there was the tofu steak! With that all-purpose sauce, making a steak is a breeze—a truly superb dish! The potato potage was also easy to make and delicious. 😋 Adding a dash of cinnamon to change up the flavor was a brand-new experience for me! I devoured it in no time! Next was the stir-fried eggplant with miso. Mmm, so tasty! The hand-torn shiso leaves added a lovely accent. The lesson was packed with treats—Tomoko-sensei’s homemade salad, plum wine, plum juice, and matcha jelly—leaving me completely satisfied! Above all, it was such a fun time, filled with wonderful hospitality! The food was delicious, of course, but the conversation while cooking was just so much fun. It feels like that positive energy is infused right into the dishes! I’d love to sign up for another class!
