Top Shibuya Cooking Classes

This activity is unique because it offers a comprehensive and immersive experience in making Japanese comfort dishes from scratch, including fresh ramen noodles made by hand, rich Yuzu Shio ramen, tender chashu, and perfectly marinated ajitama. Participants also learn how to make okaka onigiri, a classic rice ball filled with savoury dried bonito flakes. The experience is completed by preparing and enjoying a refreshing Japanese-style matcha jelly dessert during the class.

This class goes beyond shaping techniques, starting with the fundamentals of selecting the right rice. You'll learn how to choose, rinse, and cook the perfect rice, which is the foundation of delicious onigiri. Creating the perfect onigiri requires precise pressure to bind the rice without crushing it, a delicate process that is key to mastering the craft. You'll also delve into the art of making miso soup, beginning with preparing dashi from scratch. Finally, you'll beautifully pack your onigiri and miso soup into a bento box, creating a satisfying meal. With a small class size (up to 8 participants), you'll experience every step hands-on.

This hands-on class lets you make authentic Japanese gyoza completely from scratch, from mixing, kneading, rolling and cutting the dough for the wrappers, to preparing a savory pork and vegetable filling, folding, and pan-frying for crispy bottoms and juicy fillings. You'll learn directly from a professional chef and cooking instructor, who shows each step as you cook along, and finish by enjoying your freshly made gyoza with Japanese rice cooked in a clay pot. Conveniently located a short walk from Ebisu Station.
