I honestly could not recommend this experience more highly. Shin is incredibly talented and genuinely makes some of the best ramen in the world. We feel so grateful to have learned from him, he is so knowledgeable, passionate, and fun, and you can really feel how much he loves what he does. Sherry was made for this job and made the class an absolute joy. Her English is amazing (despite her insisting it’s not!), and she brought so much warmth and humour to the experience. I would honestly recommend people come to Kyoto just for this class.

You’ll have to go back the next day but it was worth it

Kristyn_C, Aug 2026

Loved it and the ramen itself was actually delicious. The place is a bit hard to find but once there it’s easy to see why this place thrives. Guides were great and spoke very good English, the painting was easy and the food making was well handled. I didn’t realize you had to go back the next day to pick up your bowel so that I’d want people to know about. It may be that I missed it in the description.

This is a great crafting...

This is a great crafting / cooking experience for kids and grownups. They are very patient with little ones. We did it with a 4 year old and 9 year old. They are great at adapting based on the abilities of the kids and very patient when the little one runs around and plays instead of staying on task. One of the kids’ favorite Kyoto experiences!

Great food and fun!

Kristina_P, Apr 2026

This is a perfect activity for couples, friend groups, or kids/family. Funny and energetic hosts gave great tips for making their signature ramen dish with full recipe provided (but the actual activity is making it with their premade ingredients to save time with kids). It is delicious! The bowl painting activity is really fun to do together, and a nice memory of our trip. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Experience- Highlight of our trip to Japan

Madeline_C, Jan 2026

Best Ramen we have ever eaten!

Amber_B, Nov 2025

Exceptional experience with Shin learning how to make hands down the BEST ramen we have ever eaten! You can tell the passion Shin has for his cooking just by listening to him talk about the process. He was very friendly and answered all the questions we had in regards to the recipe and about his love for food as well

Brilliant, highly recommend!

Tate_M, Sep 2025

Shin was a brilliant host who made the experience authentic and personable. Would highly recommend especially with the bowl painting included.

No Ramen. No life ☺️

Elizabeth_P, Aug 2025

Great way to learn about ramen and what goes into making every single ingredient. We enjoyed making the bowls and were able to take our bandanas home as souvenirs! The owner/chef hosted our class which a real treat. My husband, 12 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this experience. Would highly recommend.
