Fun & Tasty Experience

This class was so much fun and we got to take the recipes home (they provided the QR code to get the file so we didn't have to keep track of any physical papers). The staff were SO FRIENDLY and helpful and fun, the location was super cute, down this walking path you'd never have noticed right near the hustle and bustle of the shopping area in Kyoto, and the food was TASTY. I'm definitely looking forward to making ramen and gyoza at home...though they'll naturally be missing something - the ambiance that was our Kyoto experience.

EXCELLENT AND FUN LESSON!!!

The instructor and assistant chef were wonderful. The lesson is so easy to follow even though I am deaf. It was lot of fun. We are so glad to be able to attend her class. I did make Ramen noodles and gyoza when we returned back home. Everyone loves fresh ramen soup and gyoza, too! I highly recommend this lessons!!!

Great cooking experience

We had such a fantastic evening learning to cook ramen, gyoza and fried rice in Kyoto. It was a wonderful experience to share with my son and a great way to spend an evening while travelling. A special thank you to Yuki, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. She did an excellent job translating the Japanese chef's instructions into English, making it easy for everyone to follow along and learn. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious, and it was even more enjoyable sitting down afterwards to enjoy our homemade ramen, gyoza and fried rice with a beer and sake. If you're visiting Kyoto and looking for a fun, authentic and memorable experience, I would highly recommend this cooking class. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
